Audio stutter when using terminal

[stop]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

When audio is enabled and a video or audio application is not running (a.k.a. nothing is making sound) I can hear my speakers stutter every time gnome terminal, xterm (couldn't get this to happen with terminator) get or loose focus or when I press backspace in the terminal until the line is empty.
Audio stutter is probably not the right term. It sound more like the audio engine is (re)initializing, it's like the sound you also hear when you boot your machine with the speaker really loud, you can here a "thump" when the audio kicks in.

don't seems to be a gnome-terminal issue it doesn't have any code to manage audio, you get the same with xterm though. this needs to be reassigned.
