"Try and install libsdl1.2-debian-pulse so that sdl uses pulseaudio
directly, and see if that helps."

SOLVED 
It was missing my 1st install,  had that already from 2nd install, tried going 
all alsa found out pulse is only a server between alsa and the application 
running alsa. screwed it all up and had to re-install.

Made sure adobe 10 flashplayer that was lagging gnome and firefox wasn't the 
problem by leaving it out of this install.
 
I had to install the alsa mixer gui to get my mono base channel working on the 
soundcard but Urban Terror kept crashing.

I tried switching to Libsdl-debian-all and that still worked for everything 
else but not urban terror.
I noticed that Libsdldebian1.2 Simple Directmedia Layer was NOT installed so i 
installed it.
No change yet...

I got rid of Libsdl-debian-all automatically when I switched back to
Libsdl-debial-pulseaudio

I installed it and now Urban Terror works perfect, no crash, no lag and
I have compiz desktop cube active and am running under the ubuntu
drivers so it was never an ati driver problem strictly audio. some
people have said UT ran better under metacity and it did for me but kept
crashing the soundcard.

I don't know if it makes a difference but now I am running Ultimate
Edition 2.5 but it is still karmic just with with add ons

Here is a list of what I have installed in synaptic under a search for sdl
libsdl-gfx1.2-4
libsdl pango1
libsdl-sound1.2
libsdl-ttf2.0-0
gambas2-gb-sdl
gambas2-gb-sdl-sound
libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
libsdl1.2debian
libsdlmpeg0
mplayer-skins
libsdl-image 1.2
libsdl-mixer 1.2
vlc-nox
mplayer
mplayernogui

Here is what's showing as manually altered under sdl (the ones I
changed)

libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
libsdl1.2 debian
libsdl-sound1.2

and just fo posterity if it had anything to do with alsa at all when I 
installed the alsa mixer and alsa gui...
this is what's showing up in synaptic filtering for  manually installed under a 
search for alsa
alsamixergui
alsaplayer-common
libsd-alsa0
alsa-utils
gnome-alsamixer
alsa-oss
alsa-base
libsound2
alsa-tools-gui
libsound2-plugins
linux-sound-base
gstreamer0.10-alsa
qamix
libclalsadrv   (this is the alsa driver c++ access library)
gamix
bluez-alsa

I'm sorry I cannot say if the sdl libraries I installed cured the problem alone 
or if it was in combination with the alsa utilities I added.
All I can say is if you have the same sdl installs and UT still doesn't work 
try checking out the sdl file dependancies and see if you have the alsa 
installs I do.
I can definitely say it has nothing to do with the graphics card or drivers
I was getting lag and rough frames in UT but it was due to:
The connection setting was set to 8, I'm on a cable modem so I set it to 24
The UT refresh rate was over 80 exceeding the 60 hz of my monitor and the 
setting of 50 in the compiz options.
I also maxed out the # of sends to the server
It works perfectly smooth now with no sound crashing.
6 year old Dell Inspiron 9100 with P4 1mb on die cache and 1gig ram with 
hyperthreading and a usb keyboard
I have the troublesome radeon mobility 9700 graphics card. It's actually a 9600 
with 128 pin bus and 128mb ram.
Compz wasn't working for me under older versions of ubuntu but the new default 
linux ati drivers are on the money.
