I managed to compare the -server and -generic kernel on my desktop,
details follow.

System: Dell Dimension 1100 (Celeron(R) CPU 2.80GHz, Analog Devices AD1980)
Configuration: Default Hardy install, using "nv" video driver, rev.23 patched 
default.pa. User is *not* part of pulse, pulse-access, pulse-rt groups, and no 
other customization to audio (i.e. .asoundrc) or pulseaudio.
Test file: .avi movie (video codec: 624 x 352 XVID MPEG-4 24fps; audio codec: 
mp3 48Khz 131kbps)

Procedure: 
1. Open one instance of test file in Totem(-gstreamer) and two in VLC - total 
of three open movies.
2. Repeatedly perform multitasking operations (switch between movie windows, 
switch workspaces).

Results:
Both kernels: audio mixing works correctly, audio can be heard from all three 
movie players simultaneously.
-generic kernel: noticeable audio stuttering during multitasking operations, 
otherwise audio seems ok.
-server kernel: no audio stuttering during multitasking operations or 
inactivity.
