I can do that, but it appears unlikely the problem is in the
audio drivers, since:

* it happens both for ALSA (on desktop) and OSS (on laptop);

* the sliding image movement in Gnomemeeting gets choppy as
  well on high CPU load (which, I suppose, is not related to
  the audio drivers);

* other programs reproduce sound without problems (RealONE
  player, xmms, xine, etc.) on both machines.
