I had this problem too.  When I would launch amsn with "padsp amsn" it
would cause my CPU to jump to 100% and hover there until I quit the
application.  The solution I found is to use the "-M" option with the
command:

padsp -M amsn

According to http://linux.die.net/man/1/padsp this option will "Disable
/dev/mixer emulation. "  It solves the CPU usage problem, but since I
don't know what functionality /dev/mixer provides, I don't know if this
causes any new issues.

Give it a try and see if you also see an improvement.
