In my case it is broken, I hear cracks and dropouts with my Soundblaster
Live card and the emu10k driver. It gets worse with higher loads and
uptime. I experienced the same with onboard sound (VIA 8237/ALC850).
I think these problems are well known since the first 5.x releases.

No, I didn't describe my system(s), because it wasn't my intention to
ask for help or support with this mail.

In this special case (devel/pear) we had a thread in ports@, and
the maintainer was involved but obviously couldn't help with this
problem, at least he did not comment on this.
