I had my earphones plugged into the jack..When the stuttering started,I pulled it out of the socket and back in again, stuttering stopped, and playback continued as normal!

The sound sub-system of the O/S has the ability to detect connection / disconnection of audio devices (microphones, speakers etc). This 'might' have been enough to create an interrupt to the audio functionality to appear that it has been resolved (corrected itself).

The graph created in Process Explorer shows what used max CPU cycles and Memory during the monitored period. Perhaps this might help.
