I can confirm having the same symptom with a desktop Celeron 633MHz using Sound Blaster AWE (old ISA Plug&Play model). This happens both with Gutsy and with Intrepid. Didn't have this issue with the original OSS driver ("sb"), but with the new ALSA driver ("snd-sbawe") the problem is quite consistent.

It reproduces nicely by running e.g.:
mpg123 somefile.mp3 &
find /

And no, everything works smoothly if I just run "find /". It only hangs if there is sound playing in the background.
