I just got this to work on N900. In my case the fix was to use a
different PulseAudio sink from the default one.

Changing alureInitDevice(NULL,NULL) to

  alureInitDevice("ALSA PCM on hw:0 () via DMA via PulseAudio", NULL)

helped.

Thanks for pointing out the latency thing, that helped me investigate further!
