For testing this kind of problem, use aplay and try different --period-size and --buffer-size options. mplayer isn't suitable for primary testing.

If the click period doesn't change regardless of the period size option value, it implies that the noise doesn't come from the buffer set up but rather from other routes. If the noise period changes with different period size options, the click noise is a buffer setup issue.

In addition, it'd be better to use aplay with -Dplughw to avoid the automatic routing to PA.

Also, your description was unclear. It it only click without other tone, or repeated sound, or the click noise appear on the normal playback, or what? The repeated sound bug with emu20k2 (it didn't appear with emu20k1) was fixed as I mentioned. But, if it's click noise on the normal playback, then I don't know. Better to ask Creative guys...

thanks,
