Don't we have plenty of time to work out issues before we build an official release with vs2012? If we use it for 2.68 that's still about 2 months away.
Anyway, the solution is to solve these crashes, either by figuring out why it crashes and trying to fix that, or using newer libraries. I don't know what the cause of the crash is, or why 3D sound doesn't work with OpenAL-soft. But this can be investigated, both OpenAL-soft and Jack are open source, just needs a developer to spend some time on this. Brecht.
