I've read that several people say that with the latest alsa driver for the VIA VT8233 AC97 sound card, there is a noise that disturbs the playback.
I also have this problem. I have noticed however that with mplayer the playback of a DVD audio track is fine. Not only that, but if I start another audio application while mplayer is running (say, xmms playing a .mp3), and then stop mplayer, the other application works fine for a little bit (at list for the remaining of the current file). Maybe mplayer does some special initialization of the sound card that does the trick ?
