Ah ha! I fired up gconf-editor and lo and behold
system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink was set to "esdsink".  I changed
it to "osssink" and it sounds beautiful now.. great.  Thanks for the
direction!  I suppose I should look into the benefits of running esound
and esdsink instead.

Still segfaults pretty frequently, but that appears to be a separate
issue which I'll try to isolate now.
