I think we use a 150 msec interval for sound updating in our game.  I'm 
not sure if we actually try to double-check OpenAL to see if there is an 
underflow or not.  Have you tried just queueing the buffers at intervals 
and setting the "playing" state each time...?  I haven't been able to look 
at the sound stuff in our game for some time now (busy with other things), 
so this might not be completely accurate...

Hope this helps!
