#9 Sounds dropped on some systems
My old Pentium III running Debian Etch doesn't play all the sounds. I'm sure it's sound card doesn't have enough voices, or Allegro doesn't have access to them.
I need to find out how to poll for how many sound voices are available and adapt the game to this.
Discussion
I'm changing the status to pending until some current tests can be performed.
I know that the allegro sound routines allow setting a priority to sounds, so that only the least important sounds will drop on systems that can only play a few sounds at a time.
