That's not as detailed as "cat /proc/cpuinfo", but this cpu can do MMX
and SSE at least, afaik (albeit not SSE2).

Means you could try the suggestion from bz 530049 and run the
PA daemon with a PULSE_NO_SIMD=1 environment variable (in order to
disable the MMX+SSE optimisations). If that doesn't help, your problem
is a different one.
