I tried this no difference -- I mentioned this elsewhere but sometimes it sounds 
like it's fixed but it's not if you look at the sine wave the pops/gaps are 
still there you just can't hear them they get smaller.  I checked this because 
at one point when I couldn't find a video that was making the sound and thought 
it was fixed I could tell there were still some slight UI hiccups.

That's when I checked to be sure and sure enough it's painfully clear they were 
still there.  I don't think this issue is just causing problems for audio but 
also with Xorg.
