The echo of sound streams at the end is fixed on the latest sound driver from
Hannu which is not availble yet. We have had problems on other  areas of the
sound driver.

There are two approches that I see to this problem fix whatever is causing
the sndserver to crash or to reverse engineer it so we can have a native
doom sound server. I like the last approach. Anyone with an access to
a linux and inclination could perhaps let us know the protocol between
Doom and the sound server. Also, if could figure out the sound protocol
we may be able to support music and perhaps extend the sound server
to use NCD's netaudio or what the heck lets go all the way out
an IP Multicast the FreeBSD Doom sound sessions :)
