OS X has very severe real-time demands. This makes the audio very 
sensitive to linux side activity. In particular,

- The mol X11 video driver and audio do not mix well (I'll
will see if I can fix this).

- Make sure DMA is turned on for the harddisk (and make sure
irqs are unmasked)

- It is possible to lower the sound rate from 44kHz to 22kHz
by adding 'max_sound_rate: 22050' to /etc/mol/molrc.osx. This
lessens the real-time requirements somewhat.

I haven't re-enabled it yet.

Did you add 'blkdev: /dev/cdrom -cd' to /etc/mol/molrc.osx?
This will be the default soon...

OK... I'll fix that.
