For what I have seen everybody uses snd_emu10k1. Since I use my onboard  
soundcard (snd_ess* (not MPSAFE)) I have less problems with my sound under  
disk load.

Bit is just experience. I don't know about code internals.

Oh, I saw a post a while ago on stable@ or on current@ about a buffer in  
emu10k1. If it was increased it had less problems. Don't have the time to  
look up the post, sorry.

Ronald.
