New Patch is HERE (August 30th!!) Feedback needed for final release.

[torturedutopian]

Hmm, I just figured out that Sacred Gold was also affected by the same issue in Ubuntu 9.10.
I have to disable the "libopenal" supplied with the game to force using the one build into Ubuntu, otherwise the sound is "trashed" once in a while.

According to you, who is at fault here ? What should be changed / fixed ? Who should I report this bug to ?

Cheers :-)
