What about Finder sounds, and other apps (IMs, etc), do they cut out? Try playing your music with QuickTime Player instead of iTunes. Does that make a diff? Is this on your built-in speakers or externals? Seems very strange to me that audio cutouts would be video-card related. Might be worth checking and cleaning the speaker connections etc. Maybe when your PM is huffing & puffing, the fan vibration is causing things to move enough... Long shot, but do you have cats? My powermacs are succeptable to feline interference. Frieda grabs the speaker cable and pulls/licks until it comes loose...
