Also, banshee uses gstreamer internally, so maybe another player (i e Rhythmbox) would still show the bugs, although with less randomness? Or even a raw gstreamer pipeline (the example is for an ogg file):
gst-launch filesrc location=music.ogg ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! pulsesink
