changing the volume of the sound under high CPU load will also move the balance one side.

I often have to re-center the balance, it's driving me nuts.

Right but that would only happen if the code literally increased/decreased the channel volume instead of simply setting it to the new value. Either way it's an embarrassing bug to have for something so essential and simple, the kind of bug that reminds me of Linux desktops from 15 years ago or so
