This may be a dumb question, but I'm not sure what the problem is, 
so I don't know exactly how to go about finding the solution.

I've built/installed these games from the ports tree, and they 
start fine.  However, the sound is terrible.  The sound card 
seems to be echoing each sound at least 5 times.  This, in turn, 
slows the games down.

I've disabled KDE's sound daemon, thinking that maybe it was 
trying to play the sounds as well, but it's the same.

Anyway, I figured _someone_ on this list has probably installed 
one of these games and figured it out.

Thanks.

Mike



btw...  What the _heck_ does "GIANT-LOCKED" mean, anyway?
