MP3 skippety skip skipageness

I just booted 2.2.3 and once again, I must say that I am simply
AMAZED by the performance differences of the hard disk and CDROM
under 2.2.x.

So, that said, everyone involved with 2.2.x development give
yourselves a big pat on the back. I can't wait until RedHat puts
together 6.0 so I can clean up my messed up system. ;o)

Anyways... back onto the topic of my subject line. I just
played an MP3 file, and it played halfway through ok, and then it
got to the "He's getting a tattoo, yeah he's getting ink done, he
asked for a 13 but,.................................." big long
skip for a second or two "they drew a thirty-one"............
skip again.............

The system is totally idle. I just booted, logged in, ran mc,
discovered that it will call an mp3 player, tried running an mp3,
examined the error output, found out that sound modules didn't
load, spent 10 minutes troubleshooting why, determined that
conf.modules is different from 2.0 to 2.2, made the necessary
change by adding a "dma16=5", and then loaded the modules. Then
I tried playing the mp3 again. It worked. Up until the skip
skip part above.

Oh, prior to running the mp3, I started up PINE too. That is all
that was running though other than my normal system services.
No network interfaces were up at the time including PPP.

Any ideas?

The DVORAK keyboard layout RULES!  I memorized it in 45 minutes
and I don't think I'm ever going back to QWERTY!
