Once the present work in updating the control driver framework is finished,
I'm hoping to revisit the audio driver interface to improve its behavior
in this regard -- that said, though, under Linux on a 450 MHz PIII 128 MB
Ram, most of the examples stream out glitch free audio for me. For example:

cd sfront/examples/beat
sfront -aout linux -playback -orc beat.saol -sco beat.sasl
gcc -O3 sa.c -lm -o sa
./sa

streams out glich free audio, even with some netscape's computing in
the background and taking some CPU. If the above example (remember the
-playback) glitches using dsound, on similarly-spec'd hardware, its a
sign that the dsound driver could use some work ...
