If I do a quick hack in tms6100.cpp(MAME), the jingles and beeps work fine in the game. Otherwise sound is buggy.
I haven't looked at the disassembly, but maybe that's the M0 rising edge for the next byte? The timing diagram from the data sheet shows that the data isn't valid until after the falling edge, but it also shows the next rising edge while the old data is valid.
