Aha! I knew I remembered something about Adaptec and the envy24
chipset. Check this out:
Granted, this is the ST Audio card and a 2940 but the chipset is the
same on the audio card and the 29160 is just a faster version of the
29160 (note that there are problems with the on-board SCSI controllers
too). After re-finding this (it's linked on my web site) I would
*definitely* recommend getting a cheap IDE drive for your audio data.

Still getting xruns, doesn't seem to be much different to before. Until
the files are cached, then it's fine, as usual. On the positive side,
did a bunch of recording today, and everything was good (after the usual
preload-to-cache tricks). It's also heartening to know that folks are
running similar spec boxes to mine and not getting xruns.
I'm assuming (although i don't remember you mentioning it) that
you have configured JACK's tmpdir to be on a tmpfs?
