Thanx Sean, That's actualy what I thought. I had began to doubt my understanding of the process because, while my computer performance has definitely fallen off on occasion I've never experienced any audio drop out from "buffer overrun". I guess there is plenty of buffer capacity in the SB to deal with such events. Anyway thanx so much for reply.
