Well, that's something  didn't know. So a newbie question comes to mind
now: how  can I tell ALSA and/or PD to use my card in non-interleaved
mode? maybe something in .asoundrc? I'll try to check that...

| That looks like a bug in alsa itself for your particular soundcard...

I have a es1968 (Maestro 2E). Debian testing/unstable with 2.6.0-test11
and userspace ALSA 0.9.8 (alsa-base is 1.0.1)
