Bug Description
Distro is Jaunty Beta intial release, all apt/synaptic repositories are unchanged/
I'm aware that crackling, broken audio in OpenAL is a common issue - but on this box I've had Edgy, Gutsy, Elive and an old version of Fedora installed at one time or another (and ran DSL and SLAX for data recovery) and never had this issue. I swapped out my SBLive for a cheapie AC97 and get the same result.
Upon loading UT2004 or OpenArena 0.8.1 (the latter only with OpenAL enabled) I get some pretty messed up audio for about a minute, then it clears up. I understand that OpenAL is using libSDL for some of the backend, and I tried using specific (-alsa -oss -pulseaudio) versions of that instead of the -all option and got the same issue.
Please forgive me if this isn't a Jaunty-specific bug. Digging the new distro, thanks for all of your hard work!
