Using top will usually show the culprit.
Last time that was happenning to me it was /usr/bin/esd. It is
impossible to "rpm -e esound" because everything
claims to depend on it, so my solution was to "mv /usr/bin/esd
/usr/bin/esd.broken" and reboot. Sound seems to
work much better now.

It amazes me to see all the depencies on ESD. Most of the alleged
depencies are apps that have optional ESD support (which can be turned
off upon recompilation). When is this abomination finally going to be
killed for good?
