If you own Asus a7n8x (dx), all this skipping stuff is a known problem.
There seems to be a bug in hardware of MCP-T chipset (soundstorm part of it) and / or sound drivers. The temporary fix, and the one I use atm, is set your directsound hardware acceleration to "basic", for anything above causes things to be accelerated without speed checks or whatever. It is also precisely what causes bink movies to play ~3 fps.
More about the problem can be found here, here, and here's a FAQ should you have more problems (like slow bootups due to ~1 minute searches for nonexistant IEEE1394 devices)
Of course, above post is ripe with assumptions. Too much so, I'm afraid:)

Actually, u and y are next to eachother on qwerty keyboard, thus I suspect grandparent to be fake (nevermind the implications! :)
