Nope, spoke too soon. After analysis, the data loss is
still there, It seems to be only one sample at most, not a
whole buffer. With the notransport option, ecasound just
doesn't tell me about it.

 I did isolate a problem with the word clock: while in use,
occassionally the sound cards would drop the PLL coherence
momentarily. I could not correlate that to the loss of
data, but when the PLL problem was made worse, there was no
increase in (supposedly lost) sample corruption, so I don't
think that the word clock is the problem there.

Any hints on how to make ecasound exit when this seek event
occurs?

thanks,
