In pcs.freebsd.hackers you write:

Use adagio binaries from 1.1 if you don't want to port it anew, they work.

Yes, but, but, but, ..... gmod doesn't work properly if compiled under -current
(whine, whine). 

Seriously, has anybody besides me noticed that the gmod from ports, compiled
under current often produces strange sound effects? E.g. if I try to
play the bey.mod that came with my Ultrasound, there's weird beeping instead
of some of the patches right at the beginning. Strangely enough, the old 1.1 
binary I took off a backup works perfectly. (This is with a 1MB GUS 2.4, 
-current as of yesterday).

Hmm says I, let's compile the version that worked anew under -current.
I did and, guess what, while the glitches aren't exactly the same, the
mod doesn't sound right either.

So, anybody have an idea what might be going on? I guess it can't be the
actual driver since the old binary works flawlessly. And don't tell me
to use tracker, it sounds like shit in comparison to gmod and takes up
85% CPU vs. below 1% for gmod (This isn't tracker's fault of course, it
just isn't designed to use the GUSs capabilities).
