There are a lot of hacks to try which involve rebuilding the source with certain flags set in the Makefile. For example, -dLINUX_DSP_SMALL_BUFFER and -dNEEDED_LINEAR. What kind of sound card do you have and are you using Alsa or the stock drivers? I see that in the latest version of Speak Freely, -dNEEDED_LINEAR is set by default. This is good for the SB Live from what others have said, but my old SB AWE64 works better without it. The dead giveaway is that if you can type "cat busy.au >/dev/audio" and it sounds like a busy signal, you don't need the option. The file busy.au is in the directory where you unpacked the source code.
