When using the esd-output plugin there are no more cracklings. The plugin
never worked for me before (xmms hanged when selecting it or sound was 
played at x2 speed). After reading your mail I gave it another try and
recompiled esound AND xmms from the ports. Now it works.

There is only one thing which __could__ have something to do with the fact that it didn't work before and works now: 
I removed the linuxthreads port because after the recent changes xmms wouldn't 
compile with linuxthreads installed. After that I recompiled esound too.
