i'm aware of this - and i'm perfectly happy about all the testing that is done, even if a latency problem in the end it turns out to be some 'side issue', an application or configuration bug. You are doing very useful QA no matter what the problem turns out to be in the end.
when fixing stuff i tend to go from the simpler testcases to the more complex ones (it's naturally simpler to validate the simpler ones), but currently all the simple ones are working fine, so i'm looking at more complex ones again.
Having said that, (not in small part based on the care you are taking to keep your test environment consistent) it very much looks like as if the latency problems you are reporting are related to -RT itself. It could easily be something else, but as usual, there's only one way to find out ...
anyway, dont worry about presenting me with some problem that in the end turns out to be something else. As Florian's jackd-xrun report from two days ago has proven, jackd is still triggering genuine -RT bugs that none of the simple workloads/apps are triggering. Less than one day after half a dozen such latency bugs were fixed in the -RT patchset i have no basis to go and blame Jackd or ALSA for any of the remaining latency problems =B-)
