Try to roll your test out from the XFree environment to see what happen's.
Isn't there a verbose/debug flag to set to the app? If there is, use it
and send us the debug output content. I'm pretty sure you'll find a
curses interface to get rid from XFree for this test, just to be sure what
is crashing: I/O, XFree or something else. To let us know wich soundlib
you're using can help us too.
ps: Is this a cross-posting with a en-us maillist?
