I ran Ubuntu 32bit and Ubuntu64 bit guests as test. Ran system updates

Troubling change: when guest is under heavy load
downloading/installing updates, it causes the internet radio
disruption playing as the 'mplayer' host process. It sounds exactly
like the needle skipping through the vinyl record tracks. (short
interruptions of the digital signal) This never happened before, with
or without the older VBox versions. Just in case this is useful, my
sound card driver is snd_es137x.ko.
Also behavior of this old bug http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6314
changed. First time I tried, it said that it failed to start the
machine with the error "No error". The second time it actually worked
(!) and my old long dead Windows guest is alive again. It worked the
third and the fourth times too. I guess it is fixed now, maybe with a
possible caveat. But Windows guest also causes the above mentioned
troubling sound effect.
My guess is that 4.1.0 kernel module became heavier on CPU and this
impacts sound. I keep seeing this. This is probably general vbox bug,
not FreeBSD port one.
Could you also publish port directory for 4.1.0 virtualbox-ose?
I ran Android-2.2. It runs ok, but no sound. The reason is that VBox
only has OSS option enabled (probably because your build has
--disable-pulse) and Android only supports ALSA and PulseAudio (through
patch).
