Hi,
someone posted a link to a patch for the DSP code in FreeBSD a few weeks 
earlier:

ftp://rusunix.org/pub/FreeBSD/patches/dsp.1.67-1.70.patch

It should work well with the 5.2.1-RELEASE branch.
In my case, it made the gaps between selecting tracks in XMMS go away.

Cheers,
Tobias

ps: Anyways, I guess something like ALSA would be the best for the job. Or 
Apple's CoreAudio ;-)
