 The real issue is not with DAC selection. This is rather PCI Latency
 Timer issue, which is too flexible for snd_es137x. Try to increase its
 latency timer value for pcm0 (128 is a good start) using pciconf(8),
 or this tool:
 
    http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/utils/pcilattimer
 
 There is a hidden kernel hint for this, that is
 hint.pcm.<dev>.latency_timer . Set appropriately using kenv(8) and
 reload the driver or through /boot/device.hints (require reboot).
