Are you using the same box for both recording and playback or is it a split system that plays over a LAN? Does your audio pause at the same time? I was having short pauses every 15 seconds or so, and it turned out to be a buffering problem. I did some searching on Google and found out that the on-board network interface on my back-end machine is known to be complete crap, so I stuck in a $5 PCI network card and everything runs perfectly now.
