Heh.  You might have let on that you were using Linux.  On MacOS one
generally has to use double-buffering (I don't know if there's a
sound-manager compatible DMA mode, I know it's definitely against the
"rules" to write directly to the sound hardware on MacOS).  Those sort
of problems were characteristic of the buffer problem I mentioned, though.
