An answer to this question doesn't help you very much, since the
combination of hardware is full of pitfalls. It's possible that you
can't get rid of xruns, even if minimal DSP load is reported, what
ever latency you chose, while the card doesn't share an IRQ.
Seemingly the combination of CPU + mobo + amount of RAM + audio card
and even the revision of the boards might be important.
