PCSX/EPSXE, Sound, and Chrono Cross

[Muki]

Problem : I can't figure out how to "stabalize" Chrono Cross's music. It speeds up and slows down almost randomly.

Setup :
Game currently running off a BIN/CUE file I made off my copy.

Hardware
- P4 1.7 + 512MB PC-133 RAM
- Radeon 8500 250/250
- Intel Built-in AC '97 sound (siiiiigh)
- 80 GB HD

Emulators : EpsxE 'n PCSX
Plugins :
Sound - Eternal/Null/Peter's Open Source
Graphics - Peter's Open Source Software, Pete's OGL/D3D

So here's the problem elaborated : When I turn off frame limit, I get the game running at like, 90-120+ fps, sound tempo is WAY too fast. I turn on frame limit to 60, and I'm getting 54-58, and the tempo is acting ridiculously unstable. Whenever characters are onscreen, it's acting too slow, and just as soon as they go ofscreen, everything speeds back up to normal. I'm not sure if I should just expect the sound syncing to act this way due to the nature of emulation, or if something's ill-configured.

In case the settings are needed :
