Well, I didn't have to stop arts. It may add latency, but it won't cause 
crappy sound. However, I had the exact same problem when porting an SDL 
version of Quake to Windows...

The problem is that desired.samples isn't set correctly in snd_sdl.c. The 
code which gets the desired sample count from the desired frequency has to 
look like this:

if (desired.freq == 22050)
 desired.samples = 1024;
else if (desired.freq == 44100)
 desired.samples = 2048;
else
 desired.samples = 512;

Hope this helps. Kudos to Frank Hasenklever for finding that one out :)
