[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 442388] Re: openarena bad quality sound when using OpenAL engine

[andrew]

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:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: openarena

In Karmic when a game starts the sound is good for a few seconds. After that, the quality is very bad.

When I set OpenAL to off, the sound quality is always good.
