I have similar problems with my Inspiron 4100.
It has an ICH3 (i830M -- intel8x0) and a CS4205 codec.
Basically, some apps stutter immediately on playback (kinda like the
helicopter noise he was describing), and others start okay, but sometimes
start and stop stuttering seemingly at random in mid-stream.
in particular, mpg321 (via libao) seems to do this fairly often, while
ogg123 (also via libao) seems to be immune. SDL apps (using the alsa09
backend) are intermittent, as are a couple of my own creations that hook
into alsa directly.
This has been fairly consitent across multiple ALSA and kernel releases,
including alsa 0.9.0rc3 and current cvs, and kernel 2.4.20-pre5 that I'm
running right now.
Though interestingly enough, if I switch the apps to use oss emulation
instead of native alsa output, things seem to work fine.
