There was an old bug in video code that prevented to shutdown 
completely. i.e. the window remained active.

You will probably want to use SDL. For MacOS X, I am confiugring 
SheepShaver as follows:
--enable-sdl-static --enable-sdl-video --enable-sdl-audio --without-gtk
the latter is because I have a snapshot of the Quartz version of GTK 
and it doesn't work well enough to be usable.

Then, you can build SheepShaver as a MacOS X bundle: make 
SheepShaver_app

The interesting thing to test is --enable-sdl-audio. Then, you can 
check if you still get errors with the ESD backend through SDL as 
follows: SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd ./SheepShaver.  Otherwise, SDL uses the 
SoundManager by default and this one works for me.
