[LAU] xruns no matter what

Hello,
I'm quite a bit puzzled and so I'm hoping to find something I haven't
considered yet. I'm using a FireWire Saffire LE Audio Interface,
connected to the following PCI card: NEC Corporation uPD72873
[Firewarden] IEEE1394a OHCI 1.1 Link/2-port PHY Controller (rev 01).
Software information: ffado built from svn, jack 1.9.8, kernel 3.5.3
PREEMT (no realtime patch) or 3.4.9-rt17 (with realtime patch), libraw
2.1.0.
No matter what I configure jack to run with, I get regular xruns every
few seconds whilst doing nothing. The last settings I tried were:
Frames/Period: 4096
Sample Rate: 96000
Periods/Buffer: 3
(Latency: 128ms)
And still no avail, results are like this, just after starting, without
actually doing anything:
19:02:48.093 XRUN callback (1).
19:03:03.002 XRUN callback (2).
19:03:05.713 XRUN callback (3).
19:03:08.257 XRUN callback (4).
19:03:12.160 XRUN callback (5).
Interrupt information:
21: 0 1 1 33 1087 339542 IO-APIC-fasteoi firewire_ohci
Things I tried:
Basically everything suggested by the realTimeConfigQuickScan tool, like
changing CPU governor to "performance" or decreasing swappiness.
I am member of the "audio" groups, which has the following permissions,
as per limits.conf:
@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - memlock 8388608
@audio - nice -5
/dev/rtc and /dev/hpet are both read- and writeable by group "audio".
# /etc/init.d/rtirq status
PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND
1075 FF 90 - 130 0.0 S irq/8-rtc0
1407 FF 85 - 125 0.4 S irq/21-firewire
1063 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S irq/1-i8042
[...]
Any advice on what I could be missing? The same system was working some
time ago, so I really don't know what I did wrong this time. For even
further information, below is the output of ffado-diag:
many thanks,
Sebastian
