This sounds like the same issue that I had. I posted a fix for it here (and 
I'll also post it below the link):
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/9772

I can confirm this issue.

However, after running the gstreamer-properties tool and setting the
plugin to ALSA and the device to the correct one (analog out) I had no
issues with any crackling or skipping of the sounds.

I have an HP Pavilion dv4 1028-us with the STAC92HD71B7X codec. Setting
the default device to the analog output ("STAC92xx Analog") fixed this
issue.

Can anybody else give this solution a try to confirm that it works?
