Try to increase default buffersize, put it in your /boot/device.hints

  hint.pcm.0.buffersize=3Dxxxxx  (8192 , 16384, 32768, 65536, choose)

You need to reload snd_emu10k1 sound driver module, or reboot. Unless
the problem solved, please give us following informations (refer to
http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/BUG_REPORT ).
