Hi Claude,
This is weird behavior indeed... what audio hardware are you using? I'm running nothing but ALSA these days and haven't had that kind of problem...

Hi Miller, and others,
With ALSA audio output I get:
tried but couldn't sync A/D/A ^^^ repeated many times
audio I/O error history: seconds ago error type 3.00 A/D/A sync 3.00 DAC blocked 3.00 A/D/A sync 3.00 DAC blocked 3.00 A/D/A sync 3.00 DAC blocked 3.00 A/D/A sync 6.92 DAC blocked 6.92 A/D/A sync 6.92 DAC blocked 6.92 A/D/A sync 7.09 DAC blocked 7.09 A/D/A sync 7.09 DAC blocked 7.09 A/D/A sync 7.09 DAC blocked 7.09 A/D/A sync 7.09 DAC blocked 7.09 A/D/A sync 7.44 DAC blocked
I set the buffer size to as high as 500ms and still got >100ms audio dropouts every few seconds, which is obviously no good at all.
PortAudio with /dev/dsp works fine with the same settings, no dropouts at all, so I guess that's what I'll use for now. I have yet to try JACK, and OSS didn't work at all (no devices to choose from, which is strange because PortAudio works fine with /dev/dsp)
