# Enable basic debugging and dump stack, check hardware pointer on the
period update
# Usefull to just see, if PCM stream is stopped for a reason (usually wrong
audio process timing from scheduler)
# And to check the values from driver

echo 11 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/xrun_debug

Check the system log whether the hwptr position are correct in first nine
periods and xrun  occur on 10th period since the buffer contain 9.27
periods when running vlc?

What is the model of your sound card ?

Does it support 4 and 6 channels in windows ?
