I'm running a recent -current (within the past 4 days), and decided to
switch to the new sound code.  rplay still apparently works just fine, but
games that produce sounds (xboing and xkoules) suffer a 5 to 10 second
delay.  To be more precise, when I start a game of xkoules, there's no
sound for 5 to 10 seconds.  Then the sound starts, but it's the sound that
should have been at the beginning of the game.  As near as I can tell,
there's never any loss; it's just 5 seconds out of synch.  And yes, the
sounds continue for a little while after I terminate the game.

Suggestions?

Here's the dmesg output for both the old (which works fine) and new:
