i kinda figured it would be more related to zsnes code than openbsd, since it
is the only offending application, but as i am no programmer i am of little use
when it comes to investigating. what I can provide is my soundcard:
auich0 at pci0 dev 31 function 5 "Intel 82801CA/CAM AC97" rev 0x02: irq 11,
ICH3 AC97
audio0 at auich0
auich0: measured ac97 link rate at 47999 Hz, will use 48000 Hz
and my cpu:
cpu0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 1133MHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class)
1.14 GHz
cpu0:
FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE
