Thank you very much for your insight.
What makes me confused, though is that even if I adjust a highest possible
latency for ASIO (or ALSA with a single crappy 22,050Hz sampled soundfile
from the KDE startup) and play a stereo output, the sound is still garbled.
It is highly unlikely that the throughput is that bad, since then it should
theoretically also be bad when using other stereo outputs (i.e. mme,
Directx, etc).

a64-bit AMD laptop
I see this machine has an ENE cardbus controller, for which
problems have been reported in the RME support newsgroup
@ nntp://news.x-networks.de/rme-audio
I do not know the full details of the problem, and I don't know
if your particular setup is affected, but there were at least some
cases reported where the ENE cardbus controllers were not able to
perform bus mastering, which is essential for doing high throughput
over the bus (lots of tracks). A single track should play nicely
imho. Anyway, check the newsgroup, RME support is great and there
are lots of posts about this subject already.
This is a page I found about your particular laptop, though there
is not much info on it yet:
