I've been having this problem as well:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
VLC 1.0.1-1ubuntu1

Setting VLC to use the Pulse output module rather than the default (which I'm fairly certain was alsa) helped a bit when playing audio files, but videos seldom play flawlessly. Strangely, pausing, seeking, and hitting play several times will often eventually get the file playing correctly and it will usually continue to play correctly. It's very inconvenient, however, and definitely a regression from Jaunty (or possibly from an earlier karmic alpha, but I've only been testing since alpha4).
