Hi,
I'm sorry I just kind of cc-dumped this in here without any why's and how's. It's the sum-up of a communication on jack-devel that left us irritated because our devices would perform so strangely.
Could someone confirm this or hint me towards anything?
Thanks, Wolfgang

For, at least, our two snd-hda-intel devices (ALC888 and 82801I (ICH9 Family)) both position_fix values (POSBUF and FIFO, 0 and 3 respectively) produce ok sound, only that
position_fix=0 makes alsa fine and jack crackle/sizzle position_fix=3 makes alsa crackle/sizzle and jack fine
"alsa" meaning direct use of alsa and "jack" meaning (at least in my case) jack with the alsa backend.
Here I have alsa-1.0.14-31.2 and jack-0.109.2-0.pm.1 (0.pm.1 stems from the packman repository, I guess)
