You know, I just noticed something. The xruns as they are reported are 
exact multiples of 53. The first is 53, then 106, then 159, etc. The 
qjackctl app looks like it updates the display once a second, so it's 
not 50-60 like my previously lazy reporting said, it's exactly 53. So... 
What's happening 53 times a second?
