Steve Simon suggested the problem was timesync. He seems to have been
very correct in this suggestion. Though I wonder why it needs to do >
60k syscalls :\.

Additionally, using dd to play my cd instead of cat seems to work
pretty well. dd -if a000 -of /dev/audio -bs 4192 seems to be enough.
Additionally, using madplay like:

madplay -o RAW:'02 - Birdhouse In Your Soul.mp3' | dd -of /dev/audio -bs 4192

seems to work well.
