Public bug reported:
I've been using Jaunty for a long time, but only a week ago I upgraded
to Karmic via the software installer.
Since then, both OpenArena and AssaultCube have had frame rate problems
(particularly in open spaces. Enclosed spaces seem to be ok). The sound
starts ok, and everything runs fine. But after a few minutes the sound
stutters and then falls silent. After this point, any attempt to exit
the game will cause the system to freeze. Its definitely the system that
fails, there is no way of killing the process. I am forced to use the
reset switch on my pc to do a hardware restart of the system.
>From some research it seems that there may be a problem between OpenAL
and Pulseaudio.
I was using version 1.8 of OpenAL, so I upgraded to version 1.10 and
everything seemed okay for a day. Then the sound became distorted again
and the original problem resurfaced.
There is another bug, #351732, which describes a similar problem.
However #351732 is based on Jaunty.
