Steve, I think it's related to frequency scaling; I didn't have any problems on my old Epox Mobo but I recently switched to an ASUS one. Switching off any form of frequency scaling (powernowd, cpufreqd, ondemand... governors...) fixed the problem. A friend noticed the same thing. For now I manually switch to a higher frequency when needed and if no recording is running. A bit of a PITA but no corrupted recordings anymore.
