Well, I discovered that only xinelib has this problem. Xmms and
alsaplayer, for example, don't have this issue. I am testing VLC and it seems to work fine. I am not surprised, since the xine source code that deals with alsa is huge and ugly, it must be very hard to mantain that.
Thanks for your reply! I did some more testing and I can reproduce it as well with the 8bit mode, it occurrs less frequently. When I switch back to 16 bit it takes only a few tries with aplay to get the hiccups. So it seems it is a bit more tricky than I initially thought. Xine can be a strange beast some times, so that's why I used aplay as well. Anybody have some more ideas how to tackle this problem or point me in the right direction so I can solve it myself? It seems I am so close to a working solution...
Kind regards, Benjamin
