As another data point, I just tried this. Ubuntu Edgy with Orca from SVN 
trunk.
Rhythmbox 0.9.6 on an Acer Ferrari 3500 AMD laptop (sound card - VIA 8235).

I had no problems listening to the Virgin Classic Rock internet radio 
station.
Orca was still response and talking as I continued to move around (radio 
station
playing in the background).

I took a full debug trace as I did all of this. There are no Python 
Tracebacks or
COMM_FAILURES. It all seems to work fine.

As others have pointed out, situations like this are very hardware specific.
Any chance you could test this again on other hardware? ...
