I've seen it too, even on low quality divx.

Another problem I encounter is that after an hour my sound starts to get
"dirty". Cracks and all. It gradually increase from non existent in the
beginning to very much annoying after an hour and a half or so in the movie.

It looks to me like some memory leak or an offset problem or so. Since I
haven't heard anyone else about this, I think it is a MacOSX issue as far as
I can determine I have it will all sound files. But most definetly with mp3.
