I would be interested in knowing which buffer size -b and -B are you using? And are you playing from an external harddisc or from your default laptop hardisc?
I don't recall exactly how fast is the harddisc of a macbook 2.16GHz Core2Duo - I think 5,400RPM.

I can go down to -b64 -B128 without any problems. With -b32 -B64, I  
get the odd dropout when switching windows, but I am sure that is not  
because of diskin2.

That is on a MacBook 2.8GHZ etc.
