1) Try using smaller or bigger DMA buffer size. Set
hint.pcm.0.buffersize to something like 4096 or 32768 (start with
smaller value). Refer to kenv(8) or device.hints(5) or
loader.conf(5)
2) Experiment with other multimedia (mplayer, madplay, mpg123,
etc) players that has _nothing_ to do with artsd (KDE soundserver)
or esound.
3) Try FreeBSD 6.x . No comment.
