Very interesting. My quick take is that the UE Radios are probably as
susceptible to Bass drop-out as are the rev 0005s. I have had your #1
"instantaneous" experience on occasion. Actually on the first occasion,
just like you did. But reality stepped in to squash my Eureka moment, as
subsequent tests took longer to work through. I speculate that the
"instantaneity" might be be due to additional time taken by an initial
buffer/handle allocation in the speex upsampler. But only a guess.

Interesting that your R1.4 test #3 seemed not to suffer from Bass-drop
out, despite an apparent plethora of under-runs. Could there conceivably
be something in R1.4 that changes behaviour ? I'm inclined to think not,
but perhaps you might have a better idea.

I haven't yet looked at the logs. The kernel errors you highlight
reflect under-runs further down the chain, DMA->Serial lines from the
look of it. Sometimes I see them, sometimes I don't, but they have
always been preceded by a pcm error. SIER (SSI Interrupt Enable
Register) and SISR (SSI Interrupt Status Register) seem to tell us what
hardware interrupts are enabled, and the status of the failed/under-run
transfer.

I'm encouraged by the apparent success of #2 and #4 in curtailing ALSA
under-runs. As you will have gathered, it is my belief that those
under-runs are, sometimes, triggering an issue with the Crossover, so if
the increased buffer size effectively fixes it..., well perhaps job
almost done.

I'll have a proper look at the logs over the next couple of days. And
I'll assign one of my Radios to a longer term test.

This extract from a recent post in connection with a UE Radio sounded
like bass drop out to me:

Thanks for trying it out.
