A good test is Skype (OSS), available from Medibuntu as skype-static-oss
(as the ALSA version is not currently compatible). Run skype using the
padsp wrapper, i.e.: padsp skype

With the default settings, sound skips terribly. Using the above
configuration, it doesn't skip at all on my system. I have been
experimenting with different values, and it seems that having default-
fragments = 5 and default-fragment-size-msec = 5 is even better for my
system (Dell Inspiron 510m with STAC9750,51/ICH4).

Other applications do exhibit some stutter, e.g. VLC (using pulse
output) and Pidgin's notification sounds, and these stutters are
drastically reduced/eliminated with the above configuration.

pops)
