It (kind of) works. However even at a setting of buffer size 512 (34ms
latency), my chuck system stutters (~.2 secs audio, ~1 sec silence).
Also EnergyXT doesn't seen to output any sound at all. A simple test
tone in supercollider seem to work though.

Basically very flaky and useless. What can I do?
