-nosound helps, but sadly -autosync 30 doesn't seem to...  -mc 0 also
doesn't help.

Also, I just switched from the OSS driver I had been using, to the ALSA
driver, and it is just as problematic (either with -ao oss or -ao alsa).
I would expect SB Live drivers to generally be better than the drivers
for cheap/ junky sound cards, but that doesn't seems to be the case.

Did you want a sophisticated explanation?  It's no problem.  I just
figured a short one would make the point.

There are antialiasing methods like "smothing" which operate on aliased
images.  Whether you want to call that antialiasing or something else
doesn't really matter.  It does *mask* the aliasing, which was my point.
