I'll have a look at it, thanks.

Hmmm. You know, I searched the web for two days, read tons of stuff
about kernel/audio latency, fiddled with pci latency and quite some
other things but still kept wondering why I actually found so little
material related to my particular problem. So maybe it really isn't
normal, but frankly I have no idea what the reason might be.

Soundcard? Buy another one? Too many pci cards in my system causing
lag on the bus? I have a ISDN, TV, PVR and Soundcard, plus Ethernet
of course. But does that have an impact? All I know now is that the
buf size changes things, giving delays in the millisec range if
reduced to 1k or less. 

And what I know too is that XP booted on the same machine performs
much better, i.e. with very small delays. That's why I ruled out
hardware and didn't shuffle cards in the first place ...
