[linux-audio-user] more skips with alsa then with oss

[Alex Polite]

As I want to run Ardour I just moved from oss to alsa/jack. A funny
thing I noticed is that just playing MP3s I get a lot more skips using
alsa/jack/alsaplayer then I did using oss/xmms. Actually with OSS I
had almost no skips. Is this normal or suspect? I thought that alsa
was supposed to provide better latency then oss?

I've followed these two documents:
