So it queued a buffer that was never filled with any data, which resulted in it having no real format, so the next real buffer to be queued didn't match...

The spec says about `alSourceQueueBuffers`: ``` All buffers in a queue must have the same format and attributes, with the exception of the NULL buffer (i.e., 0) which can always...

> It indeed seems that each time the Frequency shows up as 0 in the game, *BufferFmt->mSampleLen* also returns 0. Yes, because if Frequency is 0, `alBufferData` was never called...

There's actually two DLLs from Creative... `wrap_oal.dll` implements a software mixer and a wrapper over DirectSound3D, and `ct_oal.dll` which is a hardware implementation for their cards. Older versions of `wrap_oal.dll`...

There doesn't seem to be much readily-available information on what `-dead_strip` does. It seems to be Darwin-specific. MinSizeRel builds should already link with `-s` to strip unused symbols/code, so I'm...
