Icecast - Aug 2012 - Icecast2 and Ices2 on Pentium III with Debian 6.0

Hello.
On a PC Pentium III I had a audio server working properly with Icecast2
and Ices2, running on Debian 5.0 (Lenny).
Now I've upgraded to Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) and after a few seconds of
running everything correctly, successive cuts begin to occur in the
audio.
For Debian 6.0 I have used the same settings for Icecast2 and Ices2 I
used in Debian 5.0.
Increasing "burst" only managed to delay the start of successive cuts.
Is there any way to achieve proper operation of Icecast2 and Ices2 on
Debian 6.0 on a Pentium III ?.
Thank you very much in advance.

You might want to double-check if pulse-audio is installed. If yes, 
consider removing it.

Aside from that you might want to monitor CPU usage using e.g. 'top'.
This could be also related to how in-kernel support of your sound-card 
has changed.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much Thomas.
Pulse-audio is not installed.
I did not know about "top". I've run "top" on the
Pentium III and it
seems that the CPU usage is very high: Cpu (s): 94.4% us.
I do not know if there will be a solution or if I should desist from
using this Pentium III.
