it depends on the sw params you set up (if any). i think the default
is to stop whenever an xrun of any length occurs. i generally set the
stop threshold to ~0U, which means that the driver will keep the
interface running more or less no matter what - my app notes the
-EPIPE return codes and takes its own steps to
stop+reinitialize+restart when it wants to. what behaviour you want
will depend on your application.
