(Get the code!)
I added that PPA, and upgraded the 2 asound packages, then rebooted.
The sound was OK until about 20mins into the game when it started getting choppyish. A detail I forgot to add - its its being chopping, it'll very quickly appear/dissapear in pavucontrol. This time I tried starting it, but then sound died when it opened. As usual, I had to kill the stream before it would restart - it froze otherwise.
Restarted game, was working alright for a bit but quickly died. At this stage of the game, more sounds are played I guess as there're more action going on.
Also, I found today that making it use ESD instead of Alsa works just fine.
charliehorse55, you can test that by doing ctrl+f8, "sound_output esd" and restarting the game.
