I am also having this problem with both my ensoniq es1371 and my audiophile 2496 with kernel 2.4.18 and alsa 0.9beta12. It seems to be way worse in mplayer and also when playing tribes2 where it just constanly shutters. I have an es1371 at work where I installed the same version of alsa but there it's working fine with the game, the difference is that I'm running kernel 2.4.8 so I'm wondering if something broke in kernel 2.4.18 that causes this?
I would really like to be able to get this running stable at home. My machine config at work and home is almost identical in both hardware and software except for the kernel version. Each soundcard have their own IRQ so I'm pretty sure the hardware I have at home is ok. With OSS/free and OSS/commercial the sound is fine so it's something between alsa and kernel 2.4.18. When I was listening to music in xmms, if I move windows around or just click buttons in netcape for example it seems to shutters everytime I do that.
