I use Gentoo as a terminal server for a dozen or so thin clients. The server does not have a sound card, and does not have sound configured. When trying to start the latest frozen-bubble, it crashes trying to use sound. Even when using the --no-sound flag, it still crashes ... $ frozen-bubble --no-sound [[ Frozen-Bubble-2.1.0 ]] http://www.frozen-bubble.org/ Copyright (c) 2000-2006 The Frozen-Bubble Team.

rebuild frozen-bubble with debugging and run it through gdb ... doesnt crash for me, but i dont feel like breaking down my box to disable sound
frozen bubble is a perl program. It seems to me that is using sdl-perl (that use libsdl) to do is sound things, and SDL is initialized with everything available. I think you should try to build libsdl with the "noaudio" use flag and then retry.
bugzilla
works for me.
