Sound Problems

I've noticed that the 'build' sound will just stop working on my system.  I build several links, and hear the sound, and then any more that I add don't produce a sound at all.  I still get the sound for removing links, and I still get train sounds when I run with the train-cam, but the building sound is gone.  To get the build sound again I have to restart Pontifex, and it only lasts for a few links anyway, so it's not really worth it.  I actually have two sound devices, one is an SB64D integrated into the motherboard (it's Gateway's SB64 with a digital output), and the other is a true legacy ISA SB16.  I'm not sure what could cause this; maybe when the build sound is played, it fails to close the sound channel, until they're all filled up?  But then I would think it would screw up the rest of the sounds, unless they each have a dedicated channel.

Same thing happens here on two systems, one with an el-cheapo SB card (linux reports it as Ensoniq CT5880), the other with some ESS thing (old, but PCI). To be honest, I thought it was a feature, but...
