I do not - maybe libao does, but in
fact I am sure also the sound servers
have the same problem.

It does - have you tried my patch?

So you already tried everything - then
why asking me for the test-case?
Anyway. There is a bug. And not the
only one. You knew the workaround
while I was searching for the fix.
Now you decide what is better - fix
it or apply to workarounds.
Btw, I can still reproduce the underrun
by rapidly switching the consoles, even
though now it is harder to reproduce.
