Just for reference, I'm seeing the same behaviour using Ardour. The pops and
clicks only occur when I'm recording, and yes, I'm using full duplex mode. If
I turn off record mode the symptoms dissappear, and reappear as soon as I go
to record again - until there is a very minor xrun and it all clears up for a
while (usually about 15-20 minutes between instances, that I've noticed).

Alsa 0.9.2, SBLive! Value, Kernel 2.4.20.
