Something peculiar I have observed:

I have a RTL3.0, Linux 2.2.18  box that is synced using NTP ( 1 pps from
an atomic clock via a custom interface). I notice that when I
run the "sound" example, the system time steps by 1.39 s.
This appears to be a magic number because I initially saw
this happen 24 hours before I got around to trying to reproduce it.
ntpd cruises along for 15 minutes before correcting this.
What is going on here ?
What in RTL/sound fiddles with the time ?

I would very much like to understand this problem ...
