Salut Sebastien,

It's hard to put a finger on it when xruns occur, but it also happens 
when I'm working on a project. And for me this makes LMMS unreliable. So 
actually it doesn't really matter for me when it occurs but more that it 
occurs in the first place.
But there are people trying to figure out the issues here:
