Comment(by sayamindu):

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sdl-mixer1.2/+bug/66483 has a
 long discussion on a similar problem, and a custom ~/.asoundrc mentioned
 in the discussion seems to act as a workaround for us as well:

 {{{
 pcm.!default {
 type plugin
 card 0
 }

 ctl.!default {
 type hw
 card 0
 }

 pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "dmixer"
 }

 pcm.dmixer {
  type dmix
  ipc_key 1024
  slave {
   pcm {
    type hw
    card 0
   }
   rate 44100
   period_time 0
   period_size 2048
   buffer_size 32768
  }
  slowptr 1
 }
 }}}
