perhaps you could try the preemptive kernel patch (http://www.tech9.net/rml/linux/), to reduce the latency/response time of your system. This is, in general, supposed to help multimedia performance. It worked for me when playing DVDs with mplayer. (better audio synch + smoothed playback a bit)
I've had problems using that in conjunction with ALSA - hard lockups while playing sound, oopses, etc. It does improve playback, though, when it works. I haven't tried the latest preempt/alsa together; I might do that when I get round to compiling 2.4.20. Stephen
