To all people who are complaining about stuttering. Could you please tell preconditions (vanilla/clocked kernel, what media player and if not official then contact programs author, have you enabled extras/devel and installed ANYTHING from there) Also rebooting is worth of testing and monitoring cpu acticity with top.
If you can reproduce bug in basically vanilla conditions then you have found bug. All the other findings might fall to the category of "I have installed xyz from devel or testing"

I have constant stuttering of sound as well. I use Panucci a lot and the audio stutters as the screen brightness changes first to dim then to off. Notification sounds from incoming messages interrupt the audio feed about 95% of the time. The rare occasions when I get a little "ding" from incoming email and the Panucci audio doesn't hiccup are almost jarring even though that's the way I would think it's supposed to be. Not only that, but there is sometimes such a lag between the stopping of the audio playback and the start of the notification sound that I often think I must be getting a phone call. That's probably my single biggest gripe with this otherwise awesome device... any interaction with the device will interrupt the audio stream.

I just got my n900 last week, updated to PR1.2 right away, and the first issue I noticed was the audio stuttering. It seems like this issue has been reported to Nokia and will be fixed with the next release of Qt - http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-8991

sometimes I have studdering, but learning to live with it. I figure its a bug and will get fixed soon. I try not to run much when playing audio. Youtube is broke because of flash but thats another problem

wtf? Youtube is not broken? Oh people please.
....and yes, I did install a bunch of apps (67 to be percise) some from devel as well, but they were the same 67 apps I had before with PR1.1.1 (and the stuttering was minimal).It might be an app from devel and doesn`t like PR1.2, it could be ANYTHING in this point.....

Mine got this too. Even when I'm not doing ANYTING. Got stuttered sound of incoming message when no applis were running.
I almost got fully reflashed my device (even with eMMC image reflashed) - so it can be called 'clean install'. I had no applis installed at all for about 2-3 days (yes, I was hunting for the bug, hoping if an application from somewhere outside PR1.2 is the reason) with no success - sometimes it's just enough for n900 to lay quietly for some time without running processes at all to make this noise appear suddenly with an sms etc.
I thought that CPU load is the case - so in this case overclocking and/or renicing would be a temporarily solution. But none of that solved a problem.
Yet I'm not talking about impossibility of simulatineous sound sources, such as cannot listen to the music via default player and to play Angry Birds with sound... Is it pulseaudio I know???
Or is ALSA broken?

Im at the same stuttering situation ... I dont cary generally, but during listening of mp3s its pretty annoying. I believed its somehow caused by bad usage of the cpu or something like that, so I reniced the replay-related processes - pulseaudio, mediaplayer, dbus_wrap something ... I increased priority to -20 and it improved the situation a lot. Now, it stutters only when lets say I start a browser (during the start) or a app manager (during update) ...
The problem is I have to renice the processes again after each reboot ...
... and Im unable to determine how to use "nice" during boot ... anyone knows, tell pls!

also check xpolicy.conf in /etc/pulse dir and it has sone interesting flags for various audio playbacks life limit_volume. can someone have a look?
