So on ubuntu precise I have spent a ton of time playing with my
pulseaudio settings and system.  I have the skips down to about one
every ten minutes or so, and humorously while I was typing this
sentence.

I have tsched=0 but in regards to Raymond, my 
default-fragment-size-msec = 4
default-fragments = 8

and my flash videos in chrome play great.   My mind is weak in the
morning before coffee, but I remember that chrome was requesting buffers
of size on the order of 64 - 100 ms  , somewhere in there.  I might be
incorrect, but I believe I needed my pulse settings to be LESS than
that.  So 4 * 8 is 32 ms.  Also, you can check ( with  pacmd list-sinks
) that with tsched=1, I noticed that the "current latency" starts at
like 2 ms, and as it skips, gets larger, mine would get to around 32 -
64 ms .

in /etc/modules i have
options snd_hda_intel bdl_pos_adj=32 power_save=0 power_save_controller=N 
model=6stack-dig
but you'll have to figure out your model if you use that param

here is some of my pulse settings for you to try
cat /etc/pulse/daemon.conf  | grep -v -e "^;"  -e "^#" | sed '/^$/d'

allow-module-loading = yes
 allow-exit = yes
 high-priority = yes
 nice-level = -20
 realtime-scheduling = yes
 realtime-priority = 99
 exit-idle-time = 1
 scache-idle-time = 1
 log-target = auto
 log-level = error
 resample-method = speex-float-8
 enable-remixing = yes
flat-volumes = no
 rlimit-nofile = -1
 rlimit-nice = -1
 rlimit-rtprio = -1
 rlimit-rttime = -1
 default-sample-rate = 44100
 default-sample-channels = 2
 default-channel-map = front-left,front-right
 default-fragments = 8
 default-fragment-size-msec = 4

and here is some more output
pacmd list-sinks
