Digging deeper and deeper ... Another sign of my problems would be
jackd being killed by watchdog if I run it with -R (realtime) and
spitting between 24000 and 25000 XRUNs every two seconds if I run it
without ... First I blamed it on default centos kernel (being server
oriented and all), but now I got 2.6.16-rt16 running and the issue
remains.

Looking at /proc/interrupts, I see the interrupt counter increasing
only on one card while jackd is running ... This can't be good, can it?
It is the same if I boot the machine with noapic (cards sit on irqs 7
and 10) or not (217 and 225).

This is a server board (E7520) ... any expirience with such things?
Any known-good hardware recomendations for such setup (two envy24
cards)?
