It is great to see others have experienced this problem, and are trying 
to find a solution!

The jitter/granular distortion that Tim (the other Tim!), Ico, and Derek 
describe seems to match exactly what I am experiencing, however I think 
my hardware is completely different.

I wanted to post information about my current state for the record 
before I start experimenting with acpi and all the other suggestions.
I am only on the CCRMA and LAU list, so feel free to forward this info 
to other lists, such as alsa or whatever.

Thanks!

I am running stock model ACER TavelMate254, which actually seems like a 
decent quality machine:

TM254ELCi, LX.T3206.187
Processor Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 2.80GHz
Memory 512MB Hard Drive 40GB
Optical Drive CD-RW/DVD combo
TFT Display 15.0" XGA
Graphics Intel® Extreme Graphics 2

----------------------

I am running the latest PlanetCCRMA kernel and their alsa flavors.
