I am having hick-ups in games like Bit.trip Beat also with the ALC892 onboard sound with ubuntu 12.04/amd64. Is there any log/output I can supply?

When I copy a large folder of pictures or something to another folder on the same array, I get random hiccups in the audio. This computer is quite fast and I imagine the software should be quite mature- so I don't know why I wouldn't be able to listen to music with Rhythmbox while copying files. At most, I also have Chromium and/or Firefox sitting idle in the background doing nothing intensive. Given prior experience, I'm inclined to believe this is a problem with pulseaudio, not alsa, but I don't know how to figure that out, and Ubuntu audio isn't really usable without pulseaudio anymore. (I tried bypassing pulse and just using straight alsa with this machine running Lucid. It was not pretty and ended in me wiping the machine.)
