Please describe the problem:
Whenever a program plays a sound through GStreamer (Rhythmbox, Pidgin, etc),
the song/sound will skip once after about a third of a second, which sounds
kind of staticy, but it only does it once, and the rest of playback is fine and
doesnt skip or make any static/popping sounds. It does not happen in any
program that is not using GStreamer.

I have experienced this problem both using ALSA and OSS4. It has happened with
all versions of GStreamer in the past year or so (possibly longer, I first
tried GStreamer a year ago and it started happening immediately).

I'm currently using Arch Linux, but this problem has occured on every distro
I've tried.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open up rhythmbox and play a song

Actual results:
The song will skip once the second it starts playing
After that, the rest of playback is fine.

Expected results:
I would expect the song to play perfectly without skipping at all.

Does this happen every time?
It happens every single time, with every song on my computer, along with
anything that uses GStreamer in general. Such as Pidgin's sounds when recieving
an IM.
