Just a follow up on my previous post concerning stuttering with gstreamer and 
ALSA.  Sorry if its a little off topic (not directly related to PulseAudio).  I 
was able to get gstreamer based applications to not drop out anymore by 
increasing the buffer size.  With gconf-editor add the parameter 
"buffer-time=400000" (for 400ms buffer size) to the audiosink, chataudiosink 
and musicaudiosink keys in /system/gstreamer/0.10/default.  So the key values 
should look like:
alsasink buffer-time=400000

The default is 200ms though, which seems like more than enough.  This
suggests that there is something more sinister going on in regards to
latency (as others have suggested).  I think the nvidia driver is a good
candidate, since it seems like it most often occurs when doing
min/maximize of windows and not when other non graphics processes are
consuming all of CPU (at least in my case).
