Hi,

On my system xruns seem related to the keyboard. I get xruns on ~8.079
seconds boundaries when the keyboard is in use, regardless of the load.
My usual test is running jack with 2 periods of 64 samples and no
client, and keep a key pressed. Those latencytest graphs give an idea of
the problem : http://www.undata.org/~thomas/latencytest/index.html

Here are the xrun_debug reports :

For the intel8x0 :
XRUN: pcmC1D0p
Stack pointer is garbage, not printing trace
Unexpected hw_pointer value [1] (stream = 1, delta: -16, max jitter =
64): wrong interrupt acknowledge?
