I have basically the same system as you, but I only have 8 megs of RAM.  
I have not had a single audio break in Phantasmagoria.  And yes, I DON'T 
like the fact Sierra didn't put the Win95 requirements on the box.
BTW, I am running my AMD DX4/100 at 50MHz external and 100MHz internal 
and have VLB video and a VLB E-IDE card.  It may make a little 
difference.
