Thanks for the heads up.. This is clearly not an issue then..
The other thing I forgot to note was the pci latency settings. On
my system I have been using a script I got from this mailing
list (was it yours Paul?):
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
# "open up" the PCI bus by allowing fairly long bursts for
all devices, increasing performance
setpci -v -s "*:*.*" latency_timer=b0
# maximise latency for SBLive!, thus allowing
# more data per PCI transfer and minimizing xfuns
setpci -v -s 01:0a.0 latency_timer=ff
esac
exit 0
obviously requiring altering 01:0a.0 to match the results of lspci -v for the
soundcard in your system.

am not sure about your distro but you may also
be affected by
"nptl hell", in which case I would suggest changing distro:
NPTL Hell affects only 2.4 kernels or very very early 2.6 kernels. It is
not and has never been an issue in distributions using kernels from the
last 2 years or so.
