Yes I checked that, when the line-in is enabled I have a HUGE noise on
the left side. When disabled, the noise is much more lowered but it is
on both sides. I'll have to unmount everything and try to use the ear
connector instead.

No I haven't yet. But where is located this skip buffer? if it is in
dram memory I don't think it will solve anything because I think the
problem is between the dram and the mas (DMA interrupt I think).
What is strange is that I tried raising the DMA interrupt priority
(above the serial interrupt). It make the skipping different but there
is still a skipping.
I had to lower the serial interrupt priority to 4 to make it work.
