I have spend quite some time to reduce the latency with several system 
components during BeGeistert.

I couldn't use MediaPlayer to listen to music at all before (had to use 
VLC), while it's now at a level where I switched to MediaPlayer. In my 
experience, the audio glitches are not related to load at all, there 
just seems to be some spinlock or real time thread that takes too long. 
I haven't looked into the issue yet, though.

Even if the system itself works nicely (which I don't think it does 
yet), each driver alone could be responsible for such problems. I don't 
think it makes sense to start collecting data at this point, until we 
can rule out the problems the system itself has.

Bye,
   Axel.
