[(p) fixed] Problem:v3.4.0-1-32bit Linux Crashes with audio issue

[Bratmon]

Hi, I'm Bratmon and I use Arch Linux.

I downloaded megaglest from the Arch repositories and it opens fine, but when I attempt to start a new game, instead a dialog box pops up saying "Problem unqueuing buffers in audio source: Invalid Value."  When I go to the options menu, it works, but upon exiting the menu, it crashes.  Here's the program output:

Normal Glest works fine.

This seems to be a possible bug when clicking ok in the options menu on some platforms. I have made a change in the latest svn code which should be release as a new release in the next week or so.

Thanks

Isn't the real issue here "Connection refused" when trying to connect to the pulseaudio daemon?

[softcoder]

Well, the sound system does not properly shutdown and restart when clicking ok in the options menu, so it is likely our code causing this condition.
