2. Xruns created by battery polls: I don't know if
this is the same
problem that you are experiencing, but I used to run the gnome battstat
applet on my gnome panel. It took me a while to diagnose that this was
causing a lot of xruns, presumably every time it checks the battery
status. You might want to check that you don't have any status applets
running. You might also want to check that you don't have the kacpid
bug (check google for this).
Known issue. Alan Cox sez "you have a severely broken BIOS that
implements ACPI via SMM". You would have exactly the same problem no
matter what OS you ran on it, because SMM bypasses the OS completely.
The only workaround is to disable ACPI daemons, batter monitors, etc
while doing audio work.
