Confirming this on ATI X1400 mobile, Ubuntu 11.04 x86. When using the
"low" power profile, audio stuttering/crackling is much less prevalent
(or maybe not even noticable) in Youtube fullscreen vids. Using the
"high" setting results in definite audio crackling when switching to
fullscreen. This is with the very latest Flashplayer 11 beta for Linux
released today.

On my card, low setting results in:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
default engine clock: 392000 kHz
current engine clock: 128250 kHz
default memory clock: 350000 kHz
current memory clock: 135000 kHz
PCIE lanes: 1

High setting gives:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
default engine clock: 392000 kHz
current engine clock: 391500 kHz
default memory clock: 350000 kHz
current memory clock: 342000 kHz
PCIE lanes: 0

There's a difference not only in board frequencies, but also the PCIE
lanes number (0 means full throttle, or is "more performant" than 1 I
guess ??).
