Hi Tim,
My testing seems to indicate that there is more than one thing going
on. I can change the frequency of the clicks by changing seemingly
unrelated parameters, which leads me to believe its NOT just simple
asynch is not working. There is something going on with the basic
structure of how ALSA works on the Touch which seems to not be keeping
buffers full, or responding to requests fast enough. 

I have done a lot of playing around with buffer parameters, scheduling
parameters etc  and can radically change the rate of clicks, but I can
never seem to get them to go away completely. 

I do have an upgraded USB driver that I sent to Logitech well over a
year ago, but they have not put this in the firmware yet. BUT, it
doesn't fix the problem, so I don't think the issue is actually the
driver. 

There are some interesting facts about this. I can get the clicks to go
away completely IF the DAC will run in 16 bit mode. If it JUST runs in
24 bit mode I can never seem to get rid of the clicks completely. This
tends to disprove the "async is not working" theory, if async was not
working the internal buffer would still be over/under flowing and the
clicks happening. The RATE might be different because of less data in
the buffer, but it would still happen. 

This tends to point me at something happening in the Touch that is
getting overloaded, not getting responded to fast enough etc. For
example with plug running the clicks always happen but without plug I
can get them to go away in 16 bit mode. If it were something as simple
as async not working I wouldn't get this behavior.

This is going to take a lot more detective work to get to the bottom of
this.
