Well, my music making was pen and paper, an acoustic piano, classical

and electric guitars, and a portable cassette tape recorder ... I still

have that recording!

I like it, too. Reminds me a bit of the design philosophy of the Targa

TIPS video painting program AT&T made for use with their line of Targa

video capture and editing cards ...
My guess about your xruns problem is ... do you have hardware on this

Thinkpad that perhaps is sharing interrupts with your audio hardware?

People on the list have mentioned getting xruns when a laptop had audio

and video hardware sharing the same interrupt and the system had to

update the display at the same time the audio hardware was in use.

Another source was unused wireless networking hardware - the system

would keep checking for a network connection even though there was none.
