these are insanely low settings.
i have never *ever* heard of anybody running successfully at -p16 -n3,
and you are trying it at 96k. for the rest of us, that would be -p8!

imnsho, -p128 should be perfectly fine for 96k. don't waste your time
"tuning" your system for latencies below that.

there are good reasons to perform audio computations in chunks. i don't
know why people seem to get warm fuzzy feelings from invalidating their
cache lines for every new sample :)
