If it were a sound driver problem, would it by definition show up on all
of his audio, or are you saying that it might only effect mp3 and leave
say, flashplayer audio working fine?

I agree, as you all know after upgrading to my current Motherboard I
got garbled audio. Anything I played would start fine but 2-5 seconds
in would garble up clear up and garble again. I tracked it down to the
ALSA drivers and the fact that Ubuntu was back level ( This was 8.04
). Even thought I downloaded the latest ALSA drivers, compiled them
and installed them, I could not get it to work. All bug reports in
Ubuntu said this would be fixed in the next version, which it was.
When 8.10 came out, that fixed it, now I have flawless audio.
So bottom line is you need to follow the defects most like your
problem and see what the remedy is. For me it was waiting until I
could get to a Kernel and ALSA level that supported my "Vista Only"
Mother board ( again Please, PLEASE do not buy a MB at 2am on newegg
even if it's only $60 )

What do you think that it is, Mike?
Either buggy audio drivers (fairly common) or Ubuntu pulling
weird/broken media libraries (I've seen their license-dodging stuff not
pull in the right versions of things several times).
Much more likely that it is a sound driver problem, as someone else
already suggested.

The problem might be codecs. Many of the codecs that we are using are
reverse engineered, and some are better than others. Ubuntu lists
codecs
as good, bad and ugly for this reason (besides their might being a
violation of copyright laws in the case of some of the windows codecs.)
Try installing different codecs. that can get compicated in that you
might install the right one but your system might still be using the
wrong one that is giving you the trouble. Be carefull uninstalling
codecs. Be sure that you remember which ones that you installed so
that
you can put them back in.
MP3 codecs are not reverse engineered. The codec is very well known and
published. Licensing issues are something else entirely.
