The OSX audio driver has severe real-time requirements.
In order to fulfill them, MOL uses a very small sound
fragment (256 bytes). The OSS emulation mode probably does
not support this.

An native ALSA mode is planned, as well as an aRts mode (if
possible, I don't know if aRts can fulfill the real-time
requirements).

Well, I'm not sure but I believe this is the old HFS bug
in a new shape. The HFS loader used to be in MOL proper
but is nowdays in the OF loader which is run within MOL.
