Trying to debug alsa xruns

[Michael Lange <klappnase@freenet.de>]

Hi,

I have been experiencing audio xruns when playing back audio or video
files for a while now and thought I might try to get some debugging
information to find out what's wrong (hardware fault? driver bug?
something else?).
According to https://www.alsa-project.org/wiki/XRUN_Debug this requires a
kernel with debug symbols enabled, so I installed the
linux-image-4.19.0-16-amd64-dbg package. However this just installs what
looks like a complete kernel into /usr/lib/debug . I was not able to find
any useful information about what to do with this, currently it seems to
only use up disk space.
Maybe someone can help me out here?

Regards

Michael
