Just to wrap this up here too:

My problem was primarly due to the fragment sizes of buffers. I don't 
know what sizes are set as default but they're to big for my 
applications. I've found with the following it killed the delay to next 
to nothing (about 5ms by my working out).

val = (2 << 16) | 9;
ioctl(audio_fd, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT, &val);

Thanks Mathew,

Pete.
