Same here.
Installed corresponding alsa packages from intrepid, so skype and some other 
stuff now works under PA, but sound from some apps (like Skype, sdl-pulseaudio) 
is stuttering.

Kernel 2.6.24-17-generic helped a little or not at all, hard to tell
exactly, but it doesn't solve the issue. I rarely have processors fully
used, so this stuttering has nothing to do with system load - system may
be even idle.

I have a Dell Latitude D620 laptop, Intel HDA audio card (output from
lspci):

I changed the config in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf as suggested somewhere in the 
forums (probably written by Conn), by appending:
default-fragments = 8
default-fragment-size-msec = 5
...to this file.

I am not sure what these values are, because buffer of 5 msec seems
small to me, is the default even smaller?

Anyway, this fixes my issues - pulseaudio is now very smooth.
