This is fixed in on my patches page.  The problem is that the VM is
trying to simulate playing the sounds, but doesn't do a good job of it. 
Change snd_Start() from whatever it is to just return "false" (or maybe
true -- I can't remember).  Then all should be well.

I'm unsure of what to do about those debug messages.  Trying again does
seem reasonable, because it might be transient error.  I guess one
message per sequence of failures would be a reasonable middle ground?
