Your idea about it being related to video drivers makes some sense to me. I unfortunately can't help troubleshoot this bug further right now because this bug forced me to roll back to 11.04, which is almost perfect for me. However, even in 11.04 if I move to 'expo' mode (super + D) or use the graphic application switcher with previews, I get very similar burps and gurgling audio to what I experienced with 11.10. Luckily once I am not in expo mode or once I have switched applications, the sound returns to normal. I can live with this for now but it will keep me locked in with 11.04 for the time being.
