Summary:                    sounds continually stutters
Description: 
Using Fedora Core 2 on an Athlon 64 system (x86_64), sound stutters
continually using sound directed to the alsa driver. It sounds like
someone is playing it underwater. This is using xmms. If I direct the
sound via arts (which talks to the alsa driver), I get the same problem.

If I set the sound output device to OSS (using alsa OSS emulation), the
sound is fine. If I set arts to talk to oss, then the sound is fine too.

An additional issue is that kmix crashes on its startup with this card,
but this is probably a kmix issue, as alsamixer and gnome-volume-control
both work.

Currently, the alsa audigy ls driver does not support any oss mixer
elements.
This is probably because the audigy ls sound card does not have any
conventional controls like master and pcm. That is probably why kmix
fails.
The stuttering sound is due to a bug in xmms.
Playing the same audio file in xine will sound fine.
