Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.32-41-generic, alsa loopback module seems to
have been remvoed from the kernel. I've tried to rebuild the kernel from
source and include it but I have all sorts of version issues with that.

Rather confusingly this points the finger to the pipe from shairport to
ecasound. Does the pipe actually physically write to the disk? the pipe
is positioned on a RAID5 I wonder if moving it to a ramdisk might help.

Stuart's on Gentoo I'm not that's about it, bar any hardware
differences.
