The media is fine, low RAM could be it but I think that sound would be choppy, too would'nt it?
In /var/log/messages I get a lot of the following and I guess that that is the culprit:
Mar 23 10:30:09 mars kernel: acd0: FAILURE - REPORT_KEY ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x6f ascq=0x04 
Mar 23 10:30:09 mars kernel: ata1: FAILURE - non aligned DMA transfer attempted
Mar 23 10:30:09 mars kernel: acd0: setting up DMA failed

I have no real idea what to do and Google just gives me, that it seems to be a problem of FreeBSD 7 - some other dude seems to have it, too but no problems on FreeBSD6.x
