Ok

Ugh. Now I am confused. Since this is a speech recognition
program, I suppose it will perform a fourier transform (fft)
on the data. When it expects a rate of 22050 (it requested
that and the ioctl confirmed it) then it will treat the data
as if it was 2.76 times higher in frequency then it actually
is! That could lead to it not being able to understand the
spoken words, no?

Ok, thats what I get more or less without any xruns.

That leads to no xruns, then it works.
It is of no use however because I can't get the closed
source application to read faster ;).
