the problem is not vectorizing, but auto-vectorizing. the best thing,
that gcc (or icc) can do, is to generate vectorized code for non-aligned
(read non-optimal) for setting audio blocks ...
loops that access two or more blocks will face the aliasing problem

just try it, i'm curious about your oprofile dumps

no, but you can figure out a lot by examining the machine code (if you
can read machine code) and read the debugging output of the vectorizer.
