I tryied to use the HG versions, but they didn't work well for me. Maybe

I just downloaded the 10.0.16 version and the code for aloop-kernel.c looked
quite different from the one in the HG version. I was under the
understanding that the HG version is a current development snapshot that
eventually gets tagged into an official 1.0.1xx version. That's not the case
then?

Anyway, I will try with the 10.0.16 version, I see some stuff about a
#define called SND_CARD_LOOPBACK_START_SYNC, that sounds promising perhaps.
I've also looked at the config file you attached, the stuff about
period_time and buffer_size also looks quite interesting and is perhaps
something I should play with then :)

I'll let you know how things work out! Thanks for your continued help, it is
greatly appreciated...

UPDATE: I built the 10.0.16 version of snd-aloop and it seems to perform a
bit better out of the box! I will experiment a bit more...

Kind regards,
Benjamin
