[AD] Sound stutters when I switch out (Windows)

[Andrei Ellman <ae-a-alleg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've discovered that the digital sound stutters whenever I switch my app 
out (be it to the taskbar or to the background). I suspect the 
sound-buffer is continuously looping. This happens regardless of whether 
I'm running the app fullscreen or windowed. This happens in the Allegro 
Demo Game as well as my program. I tried writing my own switch-out 
callback that manually stop_sample()'s all the sounds but this still 
does not solve the problem. MIDIs however do manage to silence themselves.

I am using Allegro 4.2.2. This happens in Windows 2000 as well as 
Windows 98. The Allegro sound-driver used is AXA and the MIDI driver is 
W32M. My soundcard is a "SB Live! Value".

Here is a thread on Allegro.cc where I go into more detail and even 
include some sourcecode.
