Comment 7 for bug 403363

Suddently Ubuntu Karmic with current libopenal1 is freezing Blender while playing a game through it.
libopenal1 1:1.8.466-2
I had it working with drivers=pulse,oss before when the install was fresh but tried jauntys Blender2.49b package in Karmic and now it only works while using the other 2.49b versions not specific for Ubuntu. I don't remember updating libopenal during the process.
Downgrade of Blender did not work either. Weird I must say. Warzone2100 behaves the same way until I change the alsoft.conf back to original settings, but then the sound is not sounding correctly.
