Comment 4 for bug 442388

I am experiencing the same problem, in both OpenArena and FlightGear.The sound works for a few seconds, then starts to crack. Eventually the sound cuts out altogether. I haven't seen it crash FlightGear, but it has crashed OpenArena several times. I was wondering if this post has anything to do with the problem:
