I don't have much advice about your audio difficulties.  If you play 
back one of the garbled recordings in mplayer or xine, is it still garbled?

As far as 720p: The only thing I see off the top of my head is that 
you're using 'sleep with busy-wait' video timing, which could possibly 
consume some extra CPU.  Is there any way you could (a) build with 
OpenGL video sync (and make sure you're running nVidia's 61xx driver), 
or (b) change the permissions on /dev/rtc and 'echo 1024 > 
/proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq' so that you can use a better video 
timing method?

720p *is* more demanding than 1080i because it's double the framerate. 
If you use bob deinterlace (which is also double the framerate), do you 
have similar problems on your 1080i stations?
