These are the only two I've tried so far:

1) CD - xruns are consistently created as I go from song to song. I 
suspect that there is some small period of time between when the song 
finishes (one file on the CD) and the next song begins. (A second fie on 
the CD) Does alsaplayer generate it's own 'silince' while moving between 
both files?

2) Wave files played from a hard drive. Same as above. When the first 
wave file ends there is a delay (I'm guessing) befor ethe file system 
starts returning data for the next file. If so, does alsaplayer generate 
it's own silence during this period?

Again, these are minor points and have only shown up as I've been able 
to move toward very low latencies more reliably. I thought you'd be 
interested.
