[PlanetCCRMA] NEWBIE: What are Xruns?

[Bob Wilkinson]

xruns are "hiccups" in the throughput process in which the computer (whether due to improper setup, lack of memory, lack of processing power, etc) cannot keep up with the processing need.  The net effect, in the case of recording, is that there comes a blank spot in in the audio which did not get recorded.

I'm sure that there are others who can give a significantly more technical answer...
