Our experience has been that Acer laptops generally have a pretty bad 
ACPI implementation but usually behave OK with ACPI switched off, at 
least for moderate latencies.  STG has a boot option to tell it to do 
not-always-desirable stuff to reduce latencies where possible, and one 
thing that does is switch off ACPI.

For soundcards PCMCIA is often the best option.  For a budget-ish 
option, I use and recommend the Echo Indigo I/O -- though it's only 
useful if you don't usually need more than one stereo input or output.
