Just closing this topic off in case someone stumbles upon it from an
internet search: I monitored my network traffic and found mountd
transmitted, I think every 20s, from port 771 to 2049 and that
coincided with my xruns. I umounted my 2 NFS drives and haven't had an
xrun since -- at least not with 2 channels.
