Please be aware of the fact that downgrading to freebob 1.0.7 is not really a solution. The difference between 1.0.11 and 1.0.7 is the fact that the packet drops are detected in 1.0.11, where they are undetected in 1.0.7.

In other words: you also have the same packet drops in 1.0.7 but they don't cause an xrun. For 1.0.11 it was decided that this is not acceptable for serious audio work as it means that some data has been lost somewhere (even though not audible at first sight). Therefore 1.0.11 (IMHO correctly) triggers an xrun when this happens.

Summary: anyone that has issues with 1.0.11 also has issues with 1.0.7, but hasn't noticed them yet. You should fix your setup.
