Can you re-explain the intermittent symptoms - do I understand it right 
that you get a half second of sound followed by a second of silence etc?

Does the silence replace that half second of expected sound? Or is it as 
though paused for a half second and then restarted?

This does sound like a buffering problem if you have some sound at 
all... You're using SUSE, are you using KDE or gnome?

What sort of options are you presented with in Yast for configuring 
sound? I seem to recall that it has a 'play test sound' button - does 
it, and what does that do?

In Amarok (a KDE music player) there is an options menu for choosing 
your output module and doing some configuration stuff relating to how 
Amarok uses it - perhaps play in there too.

You say you're using Gstreamer... that's what I'd use, I notice you 
didn't have Alsa in the list... perhaps that's not used nowadays, but I 
thought that was still around - either way, try any other output modules 
you have.

I think that's it for ideas for now - bon courage!
