 Yes, indeed.  Some more googling today and it has become apparent to me
 that at minimum the sound card is relevant.  It's a

 {{{
 04:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev
 07)
 }}}

 Just about any sound application seems to be subject to the stutter, but
 of course, the most of them are quite transient in their nature (such as
 pidgin, which only chirps [NPI] for a brief moment when messages are
 sent/received) prevalent in use here is rhythmbox, which I have come to
 understand uses gstreamer.  So for your query, gstreamer is probably the
 relevant application.

 I did all kinds of twiddling with default-fragments and default-fragment-
 size-msec (which are configured in daemon.conf at 8 and 10 respectively on
 Ubuntu) but was unable to make things any better.
