I also experience the same skipping in rhythmbox, but not so much during scrolling. The skipping is worst when I am switching between different windows, maximizing/unmaximizing windows and also switching between tabs on firefox.
This skipping goes away if compiz is disabled. The crossfading workaround doesn't work for me as when playing WMA files it is CONSTANTLY skipping even without activity.
