Hi Jaroslav,
I wrote a patch for sound/core/oss/pcm_oss.c, that fixes the ViaVoice
problem.
Problem:
When an xrun happens, the stream is stopped.
The OSS layer (read1) changes the xrun state into a draining state,
but never restarts the stream.
This patch restart the stream once so much had been drained
from the stream that less than one fragement remains.
It is not safe to wait till the stream is empty (although it should
be when the application only reads full fragments) because it
might be that the application only calls read() when there is
at least one fragment ... kind of a contradiction, but then
why not like this.

The attached test program gives, WITHOUT this patch the following output

[...etc...]
The real rate being 8000, we have 16 kb/s of input
from the soundcard, but only read (on average) 11 kb/s, from
which we can conclude that the stream is stopped 31% of the time.
