OK, I found it. The problem - in my case at least - lies in
svolume_mmx.c (not svolume_sse.c). Reverting that file back to the
previous version gets rid of the problem. These are the changes which
caused the appearance of the distorted sound problem on my box:

The simplest solution is to revert that piece of assembly back to what
it was. The attached patch accomplishes this.
