Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Pulseaudio Issues

I recently got problems with any music players on my netbook, in that case a Lenovo S12 ION.
The problem is that pulseaudio eating so much cpu power that playback stutters almost every 3-5 secs.

So I removed pulseaudio and voila, playback with alsa is smooth and with a special ppa I still can use my multimedia keys for volume-settings.

Remove pulseaudio package (it will remove some metapackages too, don’t wonder)

sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio -y && sudo apt-get autoremove -y

Now add PPA and upgrade

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dtl131/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Now reboot and enjoy stutterfree music playback you your (net||note)&&book
