Now i haven`t "jump" and the time response is minimal. I`m not sure of
the meanig on "xrun", is it a especial type of error? is related with alsa?

Now, with -z:nodb, i can listen better the error: when i make some
successively cs-set-position the real position-time didn`t change but
cs-get-position and ai-get-position gived me a change time position.
Repeat, only happen with a little time jump, e.g., if it`s at the
position 10 and made cs-set-position 100 work fine, the new cs position
and ai position is 100 and the real position-time too, but it it`s at
the position 107 and made cs-set-position 100 i could listen any change
but a cs-get-position and ai-get-position give 100.

i only use cs-set-position.
