Andy, Thanks for responding. I'm glad you follow this list. I understand the basic issue with the clicks as you explain it, although I'm somewhat surprised that it is happening this much. Possibly it's only this Linux system? Why should I hear more clicks playing CDs under Linux on this computer when I never hear any clicks playing them on this same machine under Windows?
One other source of clicks may well be the way interrupt are setup of this PC. I noticed after I sent the message yesterday that pressing either NUM_LOCK or CAP_LOCK caused the same xrun message and a click. I'm imaging that every key hit causes an interrupt and the keyboard stuff to get invoked, but those cause a light to get turned on on the keyboard. Probably longer delays. Do I need, and can I configure, for larger buffers somewhere to help manage this?

Without realtime scheduling (-r) you will hear clicks everytime the scheduler fails to meet the (tight) deadline.
