These are *absolutely* an issue and must be solved before you can
really move forward on the xrun problem. Solving this issue may
eliminate your xruns. Won't know until we get there.

I would look into joining the linux-rt-users email list and post the
bugs there. One of those folks will have a good idea what's going on
and what kernel config options are probably kicking it off. Even if
you find it yourself and eliminate it they will still want the info.

Good luck,
Mark
