Istanbul is a very shallow layer on top of gstreamer. All the encoding
magic is done via a gstreamer pipeline which I believe istanbul
reports to the cmdline and you can reuse with gst-launch.  If you can
reproduce the audio glitches with the gst pipeline using gst-launch
instead of istanbul its probably a gst bug or some sort of glitch due
to cpu spiking disrupting the audio encoding.

But luckily its easy to replace an existing audio track with a new
track.  I'll update the screencasting wiki page this evening with the
audio replacement shell script that works with gst 0.10.
