I had already tried fiddling around with setting the latency timer of 
the various cards, but it did not really help,
the Prebuffering pauses still occur.
Btw, both backend and frontend are already "niced", backend is running 
at -15, frontend is SUID root and
using realtime priority.

Kind regards,
