Comment (by kalaleq):

 Just experienced the same stuttering effect on another machine, with a
 very similar setup: this time an athlon 1900+ with a PCI Auzentech
 X-Plosion card with digital out, though that card also uses the cmipci
 alsa driver.  Same setup as the first machine with pulse as alsa's default
 output, running on top of dmix.  This machine is a dedicated media server
 and didn't have anything else of significance going on aside from MPD.

 One difference - there were no problems with running other streams after
 the stuttering started, unlike last time.  I could run aplay and mpg123
 just fine.  Both of them were subject to the same stuttering effect until
 i restarted pulseaudio.  So i'm guessing that may have been a red herring
 in my original post.

 I will try removing dmix from the mix temporarily and report back if i
 notice any change.
