I get something similiar to this with my SB Live (!... damn marketroids) on a BP6 with 192MB as well. In my case, it's not during DSP use per se, but during memory activity. Try dragging a window around in X and listen for buzzing. My guess is that JA's console player doesn't move around as much memory as the gnome one (imagine that), therefore produces less memory noise. -- /jbm, but you can call me Josh. Really, you can.
