Whilst the glitch might make you think your system is struggling power-wise, it's probably a driver issue. You might want to have a look at this page to check it's not on there: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/BrokenSoundDrivers I'd also suggest running dmesg (or looking at /var/log/messages as root) to see if anything pertinent is in there. In fact, try running - as root - "tail -f /var/log/messages". Keep it in sight whilst you're playing music and see if a glitch occurs, check if an error came out in the log. Then you might want to join and send a message to the pulseaudio list with details of the messages, your sound device, and the stuff you mentioned in your email.
