What I suggested should remove his gpu being a bottle neck, if it in fact is, and let us know if his cpu is capable of running the game full speed.
Fair enough, I see your angle and agree with it.

The game doping to 20fps is causing the audio stutter. The way to fix it is to not have frame rate drops. As I said your cpu may be a bit too slow for this game. You could try dual booting and running the windows or ubuntu builds as I have read they generally perform a bit better than the mac version, I've never tested the mac version.
To offer more than just generic help we will need you to post your settings. It's possible you just have something screwed up or maybe graphics settings too high. Can't tell without knowing your settings. The only other thing that may work is enabling "acurate vbeam emulation" in the individual game properties. Right click the game in dolphin and select properties.
Running it on a wii is probably your best bet though.
Okay, So here's my settings.
-------------------
Config:
General: Dual Core, JIT Recompilier, Framelimit: 100
Audio: DSP HLE emulation (Works exponentially better then HLE for this game), DSP LLE on Thread, Audio Backend: CoreAudio
-------------------
Graphics
General: Backend: OpenGL
Fullscreen Resolution: 640x480
Aspect Ratio: Auto
Show FPS, Render to Main Window
Enhancments
Internal Resolution: 2.5x Native 1600x1320
Anti Aliasing: 2x
Anisotrophic Filtering: 2x
Post Processing Effect: off
Scaled EFB Copy, Disable Fog
Hacks
EFB Copies: Texture
Texture Cache: Fast
External Frame Buffer: Disable
OpenMP Texture Decoder
Everything on advanced is OFF.
-------------------------------
Properties:
Core: Everything on the - Symbol besides Accurate VBeam Emulation. And the Emulation State is Playable. 
(Though with Acurate VBeam it ups my FPS just a little bit, though it makes the audio go by SUPER fast.)
I have pokemon XD running pretty much 100% smooth. Here are what id recomend to you
Config:
General: Dual Core (we will be shutting this off in the game properties, so leaving it on here is fine) , JIT Recompilier, Framelimit: Auto or set to the limit of your game (60 for NTCS and 50 for PAL)
Audio: DSP LLE emulation (fast), DSP LLE on Thread, Audio Backend: Open AL (If available on Mac, otherwise leave what you are using)
Graphics:
General: Backend: OpenGL
Fullscreen Resolution: 640x480
Aspect Ratio: fit to window
Show FPS Checked if you wish , Render to Main Window if you wish
Enhancments:
Internal Resolution: 1x (using anything higher really screws up some shit, especially when using the pc/pokebox)
Anti Aliasing: Set as high as your card can handle
Anisotrophic Filtering: Set as high as your card can handle
Post Processing Effect: off
Scaled EFB Copy checked
Hacks:
EFB Copies: Texture
Texture Cache: Safest (this seems to help relieve graphical glitches with battle effects)
External Frame Buffer: Virtual (not sure how you are even playing with it disabled as it completely drops a lot of textures for me)
OpenMP Texture Decoder checked
Everything on advanced off
Game Properties:
Maker sure dual core is off, this will cause crashes randomly
Enable Block Merging checked
Accurate Vbeam emulation Checked (you audio will not be fast up as long as you set the frame limiter to auto or no higher then the games actual proper max fps (60 for NTSC, 50 for PAL)
With these settings if your CPU is powerful enough you should have no issues achieving 100% emulation speed.
Improved it alot, but sadly when there is an area where its around 20 FPS, the sound slows down, the stuttering is fixed, and the audio quality is clear, it's just slow when in low FPS areas. But other then that, it helped really well. Thank you!
