I can also reproduce this bug.  I am running Debian "unstable" with Linux 2.6.4
(ALSA 1.0.4).  I have installed Rhythmbox 0.8.3 and GStreamer 0.8.1 from Debian
"experimental".  My audio device is the onboard sound on my NForce2 system
(Intel 810 driver).

When I am using GStreamer's osssink on top of ALSA OSS emulation, there is a
delay between songs.  When switching songs, the CPU usage goes to 100% for about
a second, and the system becomes unresponsive (the mouse cursor becomes jerky,
for example).

The problem occurs only when I am using osssink with the ALSA driver
(snd_intel8x0) and OSS emulation.  The problem does not occur if I switch to the
OSS driver (i810_audio).

alsasink does not work at all on this system (I'll file a separate bug for this,
after checking the existing bugs; may be related to bug 140432):

$ gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=file.mp3 ! spider ! alsasink
RUNNING pipeline ...
gst-launch-0.8: pcm_plug.c:882: snd_pcm_plug_hw_params: Assertion `err >= 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
