Guido, Takashi,

I tried to reproduce this and failed on my Scarlett 18i8 (I don't have
any other hardware).

I've just tested Ubuntu's 3.18.2 and daily mainline 3.19-r5 as follows:
1) Setup Scarlett 18i8 w/ jack (RT, 1024 frames/period, sample rate 48k,
periods/buffer 2).
2) Launch Ardour3 and create/arm 8 tracks
3) Hit record

Using this I was unable to see any XRuns even when using Scarlett's
mixer with alsamixer in the background on 3.19.

Let me know more details.
Thanks,
