6:52 p.m.
the 33.55 MB/sec is about minimum, the 17.12 MB/sec and 15.79 MB/sec
results make me think your hd is a bit too slow.
what is the output of hdparm -I "dd device"
Cheers

If you run
"hdparm -t /dev/'hd or sd1partion" tell you ?
I measured it 3 times to get an idea of the average:
# hdparm -t /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:
Timing buffered disk reads: 52 MB in 3.04 seconds = 17.12 MB/sec
# hdparm -t /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:
Timing buffered disk reads: 50 MB in 3.17 seconds = 15.79 MB/sec
# hdparm -t /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:
Timing buffered disk reads: 100 MB in 2.98 seconds = 33.55 MB/sec

http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user Being that you probably do not need really low
latencey, if you are not
doing overdubs, you could change your period setting to 1024 or greater
frames vs the 256 setting. This usually works for me, I have an A31
thinkpad, with many hours of live recording use, both with the onboard
chip and an RME HDSP.
