I have problems playing sounds in programs that access /dev/dsp directly.
Programs like Xgalaga or snes9x show significant (1-2 seconds) delays in
any sound they try to play.

I have a Sound Blaster 16 PnP. I use the normal FreeBSD sound drivers.
This is my kernel sound configuration:

controller      pnp0
device          pcm0

and on boot:

pnp 2 0 os enable port0 0x220 irq0 9 drq0 3 drq1 7 port1 0x300 port2 0x388

Tools such as mpg123, xamp, or simple cat > /dev/audio are playing sounds
correctly.

I don't know what is wrong with this, nor how I can try to debug it... I
don't have much experience in dsp programming, so if someone could give me
a few pointers, it would be appreciated.

anyone experienced the same probs?

When a man lies he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
All this I can't witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home

Try mpg123, amp, esound or other audio tool in /usr/ports/audio, or
simply
cat some.au > /dev/audio.

If you have same problem with such tools, then it's not snes9x problem.
But you say you use the pure Sound Blaster 16 PnP, so it seems only
snes9x problem.
I couldn't debug that...
