Scrolling chirps while playing sound!

    Whenever I'm playing sound files (using xmms, grip and other
    applications), the computer adds very short interruptions to the sound
    when lines scroll on any visible application.

    So if I have something spewing a lot of output to an xterm, it chirps a
    lot if the whole xterm is visible; not at all if it's on a non-visible
    desktop or if another application covers it; and a little if part of
    the xterm is visible.

    This happens with other GUI applications that have scrolling text
    windows (such as Firefox when scrolling with the mouse wheel) and in
    various desktops (xfce4, Gnome, KDE).

    Here's some dpkg info about my sound daemon.
    ii esound 0.2.35-2
    un esound-alsa <none>
    ii esound-clients 0.2.35-2
    ii esound-common 0.2.35-2

    The sound card is a Creative Labs Soundblaster of some kind, about four
    years old and not fancy.

    Any suggestions for how to fix this or just identify the problem?

    Thanks,
    Adam
