Dan, Actually, I misread your description until Thomas pointed out that your complete system is freezing, or al least that's what I read now. In my case it's only the audio freezing and coming back. The system itself is fine.
Sorry you haven't managed to get this working. We'll be around to help when you do get back to it, and Thomas has made lots of headway with his tools recently (hdspconf, hdspmixer) so maybe they'll help you get to the bottom of this.
