When recording, a small click occurs when the recording cursor passes
off the edge of the screen.  This seems to depend on the level of the
input, because when I'm not playing, a click does not happen.  The click
is audible on playback and in the resulting WAV file.  Is there anything
I can do to prevent this?  I'm willing to sacrifice some latency to get
a clean recording.

It's not that my machine is slow:
* 2.08 Ghz Athlon, 1G RAM
* 2.4.21 kernel with low-latency capabilities and Andrew Morton's patches
* intel-810-compatible soundcard (Nvidia nForce) built in to my Asus
A7N8X motherboard.
I don't know whether an xrun occurs because I run jackd with -s (the
only way I can get it to be stable).  My option for "stop recording on
xrun" is set.
I tried to increase the latency timer of my soundcard with setpci, but
the changes I make are not reported in "lspci -v."  I reduced the
latency timer of my graphics card to 4 and then to zero, but this had no
effect on the problem.
Perhaps related to this, but probably not, is that when I run fluidsynth
through JACK, it crashes and takes JACK down with it if I resize the
window with the fluidsynth tty in it.  I've also had Ardour crash really
hard upon iconifying the main window.  I use Enlightenment as my window
manager.
Should I run X with nice 19?
