I have the same problem running Maelstrom. The X terminal from which I run the game reports frequently "Mixer: Can't write to audio device: Resource temporarily unavailable". This happens on my SB Live system but also on a different machine with a different sound card, so I believe it's not a problem with the SB Live. I haven't solved it so far. Ian Stirling
