I've had the same problems on -current since at least May (i'm not sure
of the exact date).  I'm using mpg321 with gqmpeg as a frontend.

My sound card a sb live! value, but apparently a different chip?
pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> port 0xd000-0xd01f irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci0
pcm0: <TriTech TR28602 AC97 Codec>

I dont see any LOR's related to sound, but i get skips under heavy
(mostly disk) i/o.

and this is on a -CURRENT UP kernel:
FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Wed Dec 10 06:32:42 EST 2003
