I've found a solution to my sound problem.

I recently switched to this third party driver for SB Live!/Audigy cards:

As far as I can tell, the sound distortion problem is _completely_
gone. If any of you have this same problem and own an SB Live/Audigy,
try the driver I mentioned above.

Looks like FreeBSD's sound is somewhat broken on 5.X (as reported by a
number of people).
