In a two-vCPU VZ guest with 16 nice-0 CPU workers, the ACK-fixed baseline stopped with ring_capacity and EPIPE in three runs, after 11.74, 30.77 and 30.33 seconds of audio. Route staged capture period work through system_highpri_wq with a common helper at all ten producers, including ACK errors and self-requeue. Keep playback and non-staged streams on the normal workqueue. Initialization, cancellation, buffer geometry and capture accounting remain unchanged. With the same kernel, input, geometry and userspace priority, the candidate completed three 70-second captures and immediate reopens. Its maximum matched queue-to-start delay was 20.366 ms, versus 108.112 ms in the first baseline failure. The other baseline failures had pending work without matching execution, so matched-only statistics do not bound that delay. Reader scheduling delays were also present. Both arms passed a separate nice -10 reader control, and host load varied between runs. These results support the change for the tested workload without isolating a kernel-only cause or guaranteeing lossless capture under arbitrary CPU load. KASAN/lockdep QEMU regressions passed with the unchanged candidate source. This follows the staged ACK fix and pending VZ capture support. The introducing staged-capture patch has no upstream Fixes commit ID yet.
