   I haven't played with audiooss is awhile, but I assume that:

   - auplay on some wav file works ok?
   - using audiooss on something like 'play' works ok?

   It just sounds like the audiooss library is simply not getting data
   fast enough... Increasing the buffer size might help if you were
   having overruns, but since you are not...

   Of course I am assuming that this underrun is not happening at the
   server...
