Have you tried not touching the mouse & playing mp3 music
do you also hear sound interruptions after a few minutes ?

As well as the people talking re. mouse (BTW Kris asked current@
recently if anyone had time to look at Giant lock); Others hear
sound interruptions: I wonder if there may be some commonality as
well as/beyond mouse locking, in scheduling/locking etc.  I've heard
sound interuptions on kernels with both schedulers, (but my hosts
are sensitive as slow & with DMA off (else wont boot), & I must
review my configs some more).
