I have a maestro3 in a laptop which is behaving funnily. It works OK
through oss emulation (eg. xmms), but if I try to use aplay, ecasound or
jack I get big overruns. lspci shows:

02:03.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1983S Maestro-3i PCI Audio

If I run jackd -p 1024  I see:

alsa_pcm: xrun of 2664 frames, (55.500 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 4776 frames, (99.500 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 2816 frames, (58.667 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 4776 frames, (99.500 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 2792 frames, (58.167 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 4832 frames, (100.667 msecs)
...

And if I run at 2048 I see:

alsa_pcm: xrun of 4648 frames, (96.833 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 8616 frames, (179.500 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 4648 frames, (96.833 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 8672 frames, (180.667 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 4656 frames, (97.000 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 8672 frames, (180.667 msecs)
alsa_pcm: xrun of 4656 frames, (97.000 msecs)
...

aplay quits after a fraction of a second with a xrun error.

It works fine with the native oss driver in 2.4.7.

Cheers,
  Steve
