Comment(by godiard):

 Derek O'Connell, squeak developer said:

 Hi all,

 I last looked at ALSA code over three years ago for the Nokia tablets and
 elected to bypass ALSA altogether, primarily because it and the PCM lower
 level code was not handling EINTR/EAGAIN properly. The resulting Squeak
 plug-in was later reworked to create the PulseAudio plug-in. So I can't
 help other than to suggest using the Piano Keyboard morph to test since
 that will make any excessive latency obvious where-as simply playing a
 single sound will not.
