Summary0004951: audio corruption after extended runtime
DescriptionFor the second time I have encountered audio corruption after having DF running for a number of hours (between 4 and 6 hours in this case) in one game. Everything appears to be working correctly until, suddenly, the sound appears to be taking a back seat to something highly processor intensive.

I completely forgot to check top before exiting DF, but if/when it happens again, or if there is other info requested about my system, I'll be happy to provide it.
Steps To Reproduce1) start DF
2) play for 5+ hours
Additional Information0.31.25, using Phoebus 31.25v23 download. No other changes from vanilla. I did have to argue with the system to get audio to load, but from what it was telling me that was merely DF not liking the 64bit libraries, and installing the 32bit versions (ALSA and SDL) appeared to fix the issues.

I just had the problem again, only this time I had proper music when I gave the command to save the game. I did not exit the program. When I came back it was at the main menu with no apparent sound. I then selected "Continue Playing" and loaded the most recent save for my game, and as soon as I pressed "Continue Playing" at the main menu the screwed up audio began.

 Okay, I've finally had it happen /while/ playing.

(I was checking something and renamed df to dwarf; the shell script is unchanged, however.)

Nothing showed up in the terminal I started DF from, however. Here is the entire output from when i started it to when I saved and exited the program.

I'm unable to reproduce this on Ubuntu. Please reopen this or PM me on the forums if there's reason to believe it's not a system-specific issue.
