I think what you are describing is just the normal effects of system load. I use esd for making noise and even with esd and mpg123 reniced to something as drastic as -18 I still get sound problems. The system feels perfectly responsive and the load is low, the sound just stutters. It definitely makes me think it is something in the kernel (like maybe the cd writing software is locking the bus for a while so no sound can be written to the sound card?). If someone tells me how to diagnose this, I will do, until then, I am forced to feign ignorance and not play mp3s while burning CDs.
