 On debian they are in /var/log/messages,var/log/syslog , and a few other 
 places.  
 oh ok, that works.. i'll also enable frame pointers in the kernel. but for now,
here's some of the xruns i can provoke by rapid desktop wheeling [though kernel still
w/o rame pointers]:

Are you using the binary-only NVIDIA module?  If your kernel is tainted
(by having a binary-only module loaded), then you cannot get valid data.

Takashi Iwai mentioned there were some patches available to daemonize
softirq processing, and that these might help.  Takashi, can you provide
some details on this?

This one I am seeing too.  I do not have a good explanation for it yet.
