Performance problems on the ARM side don't seem like a good explanation
for a segmentation fault on the x86 side. Dropouts and error messages
would likely be explained by that.

Performance problems on the ARM side is not necessarily a given though,
the processor used on that device has a dedicated Gb Ethernet MAC, so
unless the chip architecture (Allwinner A20) is really broken, it should
be able to handle a single audio stream without choking.
