I solved this one, using my manual build process, using quartz and GTK+.

So, once I generate exact dependency list, I can try to reproduce it with the 
newer versions of the dependent libraries for gnuradio-3.4.0.

The following configurations worked so far with the current gnuradio/master and 
master-3.3 branches:

01. IBM ThinkPad T42p, Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit, gnuradio-3.4.0. The audio sound 
card works best using the audio sink at 32KHz. 

02. Apple iMac 27" 11,1 hardware version, Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit installed 
natively on a separate 400GB partition, dual-booting with OS X & 
gnuradio-3.4.0. The audio sound card works best using the audio sink at 48KHz. 
The decimation values have be adjusted accordingly, to prevent choppy audio. 
This was a problem that was eluding me for so long, and just figured the 
difference out only yesterday. Now at least I have raw access to the iMac's 
quad-core processor without using virtualization and vmware fusion.

03. Apple iMac 27", Mac OS X 10.6.7, gnuradio-3.3.x built manually (without mac 
ports) fails make check at gr_fir_ccf: using SSE, but audio dial-tone example 
works fine.

04. Apple iMac 27", Mac OS X 10.6.7, gnuradio-3.4.x built manually (without mac 
ports), fails make check with the socket error, but audio dial-tone example 
does NOT work.
