Yes, the time to test is a big problem. And the problem could be with
DUMB. Using OSS instead of Alsa, and --disable-asm - I'd have thought
both to be more stable than using Alsa and the asm version. So probably
it has nothing to do with them. But don't know.

Can you describe the symptoms in some more detail? E.g., what if you
switch off and on music? Does the game get responsive again? And do also
other sounds played with play_sample have noise after the problem
occurs?
