I believe the problem being refered to is described below, which affects
VIA chipsets made between 1997-2002. The VT8233 used in the Mini-ITX is
on the 'hit list'. I understand there was a patch to the linux kernel
which was supposed to have been merged into kernel 2.4.25 to address
this issue. Personally, I've not encountered serious problems with the
Mini-ITX. I suppose not running X helps reduce the likelihood of a bus
mastering problem.

My understanding from the 'expert' is the PCI issues have something
to do with a poor PCI chip design on the motherboard. The folks that
are heavy into audio apps tend to swap out their VIA motherboards.
Guess that implies there aren't any workarounds.
From the Ardour (Linux Audio Editor) System requirements:
Avoid VIA motherboards and chipsets wherever possible. This company
has demonstrated an almost complete disregard for reasonable use of
the PCI bus. Their hardware has repeatedly been implicated in a
failure to achieve low latency performance. Here is one example of the
kinds of problems you can expect.
