interesting - the trace shows only a latency of 20-40 usecs. Perhaps the
tracing should be done over two periods?

Could you try to hack alsa_driver.c to do the gettimeofday(1,1) call for
only every second case. Something like this ought to be enough:

{
static count = 0;

if (!(count++ & 1))
gettimeofday(0,1);
}

(only one thread accesses this particular variable so there are no
threading issues.)

with this variant there's a 50% chance that we get the trace of the last
2 poll() instances. (and there's a 50% chance that we get only 1 period
covered.)

in any case, the scripts & approach seems to be almost there, i hope we
only need the above change to see the true source of the xruns.
