I've futzed around a bit more. I'd done this before, but I'd forgotten
the exact results except that it didn't work. Tried all this both with
and without RT and 16bit mode forced:
upping frames/period to 4096 reduces the number of xruns to several/second.
upping periods/buffer to 3 still gives xruns, as well as "usecs
exceeds estimated spare time" messages.
upping periods/buffer to 4 makes initialization fail with "ALSA: got
smaller periods 2 than 4 for playback"
putting it into non-duplex (ie. playback only) has no effect on behavior.
So, yeah, that's why it's mysterious. In the past I sacrifice latency
for no xruns, and everything's dandy. Not so, this time...
Thanks for the suggestions.

Try playback only. not full duplex. some of these

still have problems with duplex in 2006.
Full duplex is part of the HDA specs.
