Playing a CD usually happens using the sound card's analog mixer, not with
the sound output.
My guess is that your laptop is using power-saving features including
slowing down the CPU, and the MP3's aren't being decompressed fast enough.
But that's only a guess.

That's what I thought.

I have that feature disabled in the BIOS however, so I know it's not that.

BTW, I wrote OpenSound and asked. Their response was that I probably had
my sound IRQ set to 7, which was, by default, the parallel port. This
would cause choppy sound.
Indeed, it was set to IRQ 7. I can't wait until everyone goes home so I
can test this hypothesis and see if this is, indeed, the issue. :)
