I ran into the same problem, but my solution was quite the opposite. 
Some people reported this crackling sound issue with the demo and so 
I've found bug 3833. Then I just used its solution with the binary (the 
demo already seems to be fixed now). So here is what I did:
cd ~/prey
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa ./prey

The game runs perfectly now for me on AMD Sempron 3000+ (1.8 Ghz), 2 Gig 
RAM and  a GeForce 7600 GT
with 1280x1024 and high Texture Quality. Awesome!
