A bit late reply this. I finally got time to test your suggestions.
Running BeOS in safe mode had no effect. Disabling sound obviously
worked since the problem is in install_sound(). There doesn't seem to
be any alternative sound drivers to try (only BEOS and AUTODETECT).
BTW, I tried replacing the wait for key loop to eliminate need for
install_keyboard() and noticed that rest() doesn't seem to work. A
rest(5000); did not delay program execution at all.
Another (probably unrelated) thing I've noticed: A joystick is
detected although I have none installed. This makes the demo game
unplayable since the ship keeps going right all the time. Really
annoying! :)
