Running bb-aalib without sound works, however, if you choose the option to play it with sound, once the sound starts the output in the bb window freezes. It doesn't matter which driver you use (I tried linux, X11, and curses) it freezes just the same. On another machine (also ~amd64), turning off option 2 (Proccess music via software mixer) seems to work, but outputs no sound (the video doesn't freeze). I have tried under a few different WMs, including KDE, Windowmaker, and Awesome; I even tried it under the vanilla login shell (with X turned completely off). They all display the same behavior. One other clue here is that if you launch it in linux or X11 mode (with the -display switch) and you close the window after the music starts, the window closes but the music still continues to play--you have to hit CTRL-C in the terminal window you launched it from to kill the music. I should probably mention that libmikmod is compiled with alsa, sse2, and threads USE flags only. I will try removing the threads USE flag to see if that makes any difference.
Just tried it by removing the threads and sse2 USE flags from libmikmod; app-misc/bb video still freezes when the sound starts.
Please post your `emerge --info app-misc/bb' output in a comment.
Do you use pulseaudio? I have the same issue with pa. I suspect it's a libmikmod's badness. USE=-pluseaudio (to use alsa emulation layer) might help.

Tested. Unfortunately libmikmod-3.2.0 displays the same behavior as later versions.

I don't have PulseAudio enabled on any of my systems, and I already tried libmikmod with *no* use flags enabled (including the latest v3.3.7). It. Does. Not. Work. Full. Stop. I'll have to try setting up another 32-bit install to see if it's a 32 vs. 64 bit issue (as it worked on one of my 32-bit workstations); this should be good enough to prove it.

It also shows MikMod_Update to stuck in blocking update and does not return to main thread. I'll try to craft a workaround for it today.
Here goes pulseaudio workaround: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=2ebcf571537f84030611472713e5d08f0524f6ba Old libmikmod (3.2.0 and older) did not implement pulseaudio driver and used alsa as a first fallback (at least for me). Alsa driver allows you to call 'MikMod_Update()' as frequently as you like and does not block on sound output. bb does it every 10 milliseconds. libmikmod 3.3 introduced native pulseaudio driver implemented over simple API (simple.h). This driver blocks every time you fill up pulseaudio buffer (250ms by default) and unblocks when 1/4 of buffer is played. That behaviour starves 10ms bb timer: It adds ~65 ms lags and kicks more calls of 'MikMod_Update()' even before redrawing the scene (thus the effect of frozen video). As a workaround I've disable pulseaudio driver on libmikmod. Should be fixed properly in libmikmod upstream by using asynchronous pulse API. I still don't understand why James gets that block on ALSA driver.
OK, I noticed on my 32-bit install that libmikmod had the 'openal' USE flag enabled, so I enabled it on my 64-bit install and now BB works with sound. Don't know why it doesn't work with just 'alsa' and 'threads', but there you go. Could it be that the mikmod lib configuration chooses an insane default if you don't (i.e., it doesn't really support plain ALSA)?

Sounds very convincing. For some reason I always ran libmikmod with USE=openal. Pushed openal requirement as: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=3eef583c57b2c3e5978203d6d8b7c03fef730d42 Thank you!
