Actually, I don't think he said that just moving the mouse causes the 
problem. It seems like it's happening whenever he scrolls a window or 
moves it.

If the S3 card is PCI, chances are it's stealing PCI bandwidth from 
the SBLive! card causing this audio "tearing." If that's the case, 
there's really nothing you can do about it (except buy an AGP video 
card)! I would suggest turning off "opaque window resize/move" in the 
window manager if it's enabled, that should reduce the PCI bandwidth 
requirements during a window move/resize. However, scrolling will 
probably continue to cause clicks and pops.

I had precisely this same problem back when I was also using an S3 PCI 
card. There's no good solution except to upgrade to AGP if possible.
