Comment (by AlienSoldier):

 "Then reboot. Is it still reproducible then?"
 Yes, note that the gap i mention are never much than 1 sec now (still
 annoying that said).

 "Does e.g. the mouse cursor freeze too"
 Not that i feel (and it should be apparent because i use a fast mouse
 accelerator setting).

 Things that may slow things down:
 I use USB sticks (for the media played and the booting OS) because i still
 don't have HDs for that machine and the laptop HD is a slow one (5200
 rpm).  Those USB stick are not super fast, but not slow either.  The P4
 video card is native driver but because it is a server board, it have no
 AGP and the on-board video card is PCI based.  The soundcard is an SBlive
 emuki.  Both keyboard and mouse are PS/2.  Just moving fast a window
 around can bring the cpu meter to the roof (i always found that terribly
 inefficient, especially that this should not require more than moving a
 pointer and do some clipping).

 Don't get me wrong, it is LOT better than last time i tested it, but i
 still get audio gap.  I get less on my R5 machine with smallest spec and
 no HT, the only thing that can get that one to skip sound is with
 seamonkey/firefox when those bang the cpu or the virtual memory hard.

 I did not use VLC (because i have overlay stretching problem with the
 video chip on that PC) so i use mediaplayer for video.  I don't have
 overlay at all in it, just "drawbitmap". I notice that if i lower the
 color depth from 32 bit to 16 bit i "seem" to get better result at 1 HT
 core and it become really really hard to reproduce with 2 HT core, so it
 may be related to the app server and video bandwith.  I plan to test it
 tonight on my 1080 main monitor and see if it can skip more (that PCI card
 can do 1080 if i keep it in 16 bit).  Right now i am testing at 1024/768.
 The crt monitor can do 1280x1024 and it seem to create more sound skip at
 that resolution.
