what priority / buffer size are you using? does the underrun occur on the aucat side or on the application side ? - you can check this by running aucat with AUCAT_DEBUG=2 and if you get ``mix_xrun: drop = 0'' messages during stuttering, then the application is not providing data fast enough - if ``audioctl play.errors'' is increasing, then aucat is being preempted by other applications. Oh, last point: a related bug was fixed very recently in aucat, so check that it's up to date. -- Alexandre
