It might be applied to sarge/glibc, but the timeline was over.  Now
we're free to update glibc because sarge was released (actually we're
waiting to modify the basic libraries/toolchains over 1.5 year).
We'll plan to upload new glibc that fixes this problem completely.  I
hope you guys come back to Debian.

BTW, I heard the actual problem is the kernel - kernel preemption is
not happenned until audio application wants to put their data to
hardware.  Actually I heard this issue one year before from Alsa
maintainer, IWAI-san.  IIRC, some efforts have been done in linux
kernel scheduler.
