I am happy(?) to report that the clicks, spikes and other digital
noises are still present using libc_r.  After careful listening I can
still occationaly hear them, but not nearly as frequent as with libkse
or libthr.

Someone on current@ have reported problems with sound, so it might not
be threading related after all.  Now all I have to do is get Mozilla
Firebird working with libkse and I'm all set :)
