I'm not sure what's going on either, I haven't looked into it in any
real depth.  All I know is, the first time any of the sounds is
played, the game gets really choppy for a second or two.  Successive
playings of a sound are fine.

This is on a dual PII-300, 45 megs into 128, hasn't touched swap space
in over a month, so I really don't think that's it.  gnome-libs is
0.99.8pre1 I'm testing now.
