I have just tested it with 5.5.17 and can confirm this issue still exists. It 
is not very noticeable when playing music but it instantly apparent when 
playing a 500hz tone for a few seconds. It sounds there is some small ticking 
in the background instead of a pure tone. Happens every few hundred 
milliseconds or so and is fully consistent, as if a timing or cycle issue.

Next I checked with current master v5.7-rc2-1808-g40e1763b6246 (snd_dice and 
snd_firewire_lib) with the same results. I believe the status is the same 
posted in 2018[1][2]. The old out-of-tree have served me well throughout the 
years, so I will probably keep using them for now. Perhaps this final issue 
will be found one day, if I can help you with anything please let me know.
