Not to defend my patch ;) it might indeed cause your crashes... Just to
let you know that I use OpenAL w/patch constantly without problems;
although 90%+ of my samples are looping, so I can't really comment on
non-looping pitch changes. I also must say that I have the priority
patch applied; without it OpenAL gives me nothing but trouble (sound
trouble that is, not crashes). I use OpenAL trunk 1146.

Unfortunately the Linux port (Sample) does not seem to have much
attention... Patches go unchecked for moths/years, even if the patches
fix fairly blocking problems.

Anyway, I don't have much time to test any new patches, but if you find
anything please let me know, perhaps I still can be of some
assistance... :)

Best regards,
  Alexander Brinkman.
