[Openal] weird sound issues with audigy 2 zs

[Björn Martensen]

Hi,
I have some really strange bugs with OpenAL in games.
Sometimes the sound is ok, but without any noticable reason it turns all
"scratchy" and crappy, then after some time it turns back to normal
again and so on.

This happens with warsow 0.21 and with ioquake3 aswell. These sound
problems occur ingame and also even in the menu.
When i set s_useOpenAl "0" in ioquake3, the sound is ok, as sdl is used
for sound support then.
Sound settings in the game's configurations aren't the cause of that, i
also tried with default configs.

I'm running Arch Linux with OpenAL 0.0.8 and latest alsa drivers for my
sound device (creative audigy 2 zs)

I've talked to other people with the same sound card and it works ok for
them, but as I said, this only happens with OpenAL sound output.

Is this a known bug?

Greets,
Björn
