what version of SDLMAME are you running and on what hardware?
I've found that as the hardware requirements of newer versions of MAME (since about .106) have steadily outstripped my supply of free/salvaged/junk PCs that I have used for my cabs.
If your hardware is on the aged side, I'd suggest trying an older version of SDLMAME, or alternatively AdvanceMAME.

Yeah, I eventually gave up. I pretty much trace all my problems to being an early Athlon 64 chip and an ATi video card. Everything works fine under WinXP, so that's what I'm using for now. When I rebuild the machine (hopefully soon), I'm going to be more careful in my hardware choices.
Arbee:
On recent distros based on PulseAudio crackling and other sound issues in SDLMAME can generally be resolved with either "-audiodriver alsa" or "-audiodriver esd".
