It looks like some bytes are lost between the pms driver and the X
server. 

This is probably an interrupt problem between the pms driver and the
soundcard driver. The 'raw' protocol of the PS/2 driver used by
XFree86 as no provision for resyncing the input in the case some bytes
are lost.

Which sound card are you using ? I'm playing mp3s on a Ensoniq
AudioPCI 97 (eap driver) without problems with my PS/2 mice. 

Check that you're not accidentally using IRQ 12 for your sound card.
