One of my systems, based on AD1988A cadec, had several loud clicks on 
boot, so I have tried to investigate the case. I have found that there 
are 3 loud clicks with noise between them:
  - first click was on codec initialization, when driver sets all 
amplifiers to 0dB state and enables output. I have found that the main 
click reason is incorrectly grounded mic and speaker codec input pins. 
Every (un)muting of them or even level change caused a loud clicks and 
noise.
  - second click - on mixer initialization, when mixer assigns it's 
default levels for speaker and mix controls.
  - third - when /etc/rc.d/mixer script restored mixer parameters saved 
from the previous session.

So, at least in my case, I can say that it is a codec/motherboard 
hardware problem and all I can do is try to somehow hide it.

I have made a patch (attached) to change codec initialization sequence a 
bit and mute all possible amplifiers initially. This mostly removed the 
first click.

Second click can be removed by instructing OSS not to set speaker and 
mix levels to the default 75% by adding to loader.conf:
hint.pcm.0.speaker=0 

hint.pcm.0.mix=0

Third click disappeared after that by itself as my last settings had 
speaker and mix muted so there is no change.
