I'm going to add this to the bug I've filed as well, but since buzilla is down 
for today:

Some additional observations: 

- The warning messages only appear with quodlibet, not with other players 
(such as rhythmbox). The playback issue however is present with all players 
I've tried.

- I have gathered more evidence that the playback problem is not a decoder 
specific problem, since I've been able to reproduce it with both mp3 and ogg 
vorbis data. Furthermore, the sampling rate threshold for the playback to 
become stuttering is < 12800 Hz.

Perhaps you could try and resample some audio file you have to a rate below 
12800 Hz and try to play it in rhythmbox or some other gst-0.10 player, so a 
driver specific issue can be ruled out (the via8223 driver does seem somewhat 
quirky, but it's the only sound hardware supported by FreeBSD that I have 
available at the moment).

Cheers,
