Hum...

This asoundrc is provided by ALSA for a standard configuration I think. The problem may be with some values in it. In my own configuration other values in the slave part give better results. You may try them/play with them (2 times in the file ; for dmix and dsnooper):
        slave {
                period_size 1024
                buffer_size 4096
                rate 48000
        }
It's difficult to give right values as they are soundcard dependant.

This page from ALSA maybe useful to check your setup :
