audio lag in 5.2-Beta (card emu10k1)

I noticed a brief lag when I updated from 5.1-RELEASE to 5.1-CURRENT a 
few weeks ago.  A workaround (worked for me, at least -- I have a 
CT5880-E) is to switch the XMMS output to ESD.  I thought it might just 
have to do with dynamically allocating vchans or something, so I 
promptly forgot about it until now.  Perhaps XMMS isn't "playing" with 
vchans properly but ESD does?

Just some rambling -- maybe it'll help...
