game hangs at startup screen

Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)

The game hangs at the startup screen.

The "top" command reports that "sound-convert" uses 100% CPU.

This is not a new problem, but has been existent since many revisions.

Is there a way to start the game without sound-convert?

yes you can copy ./share/s25rttr/S2/DATA/SOUNDDAT/SOUND.LST to
/Users/tobias/.s25rttr/LSTS/SOUND.LST to avoid the start of the
sound-converter. But your sounds will sound really wrong.

This is what I get after copying sound.lst:

lade "/Users/tobias/.s25rttr/LSTS/SOUND.LST": fertig (7ms)
fertig (20ms)
