Just following up on this on behalf of a colleage.

He's set the 101 value and this annoyingly seems to fix his problem
(well, no glitches to the ear anyway!).

However he does get the following messages:

kernel: PCM: hw_ptr skipping! [Q] (pos=1024, delta=8192, period=1024,
jdelta=0/170/0, hw_ptr=140116992/140116992)

When he does the 29 value it spams the log >one every second and he
didn't try too long to get it to fail before he switched to 101. I can
get the full log of the above too if it's useful or run the 29 test and
capture the output if it'll still help even tho it's not showing the error.
