Same here, my workaround for my ASUS on-board Votex chip:

I don't use the "event sounds" in Gnome so I turn off 
"enable sound server" in the Gnome control center.
Start up your mp3 player playing any mp3 file, then start 
maelstrom. Once the splash screen for maelstrom is done 
you should be able to quit the mp3 player. The sound in 
maelstrom seems to have a several second delay between 
events and output, but it stops chopping for me.

Hope this helps,
