By default I had the "schedutil" (dynamic) governor. I recently

The audio errors were not in the previous attachment because this time
I tried playback with "fast forward/reverse" as well as "normal
fastword/reverse". The errors occurred only with fast ...

but resulting file was with normal audio? 

you can try insane fast forward speed like 10, or until it broke.... (i hope it will not, but there currently no limit at how big this value can be.. because I do not know what limit i should put in) 

it will be amazing if you left patches in for some days of normal cin usage... something not obvious on simple usage may surface... 

 
Even at geekbench I don't notice much improvement:

schedutil:
single-core 1390
multi-core  9598

ondemand:
s-c         1398
m-c         9648

performance:
s-c         1388
m-c         9935


still +400 multicore points... if you do not mind power usage/temps/fan noise... 

thanks for patiently testing all those patch iterations!
