Hi Emanuel,

This is a common issue I had with multiple ports (the latest being
emulators/fceux).  The fragment size must be patched to be a power of 2
and the buffer for the fragments must be resized to be at least as large
as the fragment size (iirc).  This might be the reason why you get a
signal.

The fragment size is set in the SDL_AudioSpec structure member samples
passed to SDL_OpenAudio(). 

Try to find this call and patch it.

Yours,
Robert Clausecker
