I've installed ut2004-3339, and my speakers keep clicking during loading screens, as well as the system freezing while the clicks are happening (to the point ps is giving me output in 3-6 line bursts).

Created attachment 44807 [details] An strace -cT of ut2004 I'm wondering why its calling get time of day so much
A *43* MB attachment of strace -r ut2004 is available at http://mighmos.hopto.org/~adam/Misc%20Downloads/ut2k4.txt . Be warned, its 40MB, but :grep -v gettimeofday" reduces it to around 20, if that's a heads up about anything.
1. Try again by recompiling important things like X and glibc *without* -mfpmath=sse,387 as it is known to be broken and will be removed from future versions of GCC for that exact reason. 2. You have breakmygentoo stuff in your overlay. I cannot support you. If #1 does not resolve your situation, then I am sorry, but introducing non-Gentoo ebuilds, especially ebuilds from breakmygentoo which are known to be of poor quality and bring about any possibly combination of unknowns into a system, keeps me from being able to diagnose the problem well. Try removing all references to breakmygentoo and performing a complete "emerge -e world" after removing the overlays to return to a pristine Gentoo system.
I know my system looks a lot more unstable than it really is, but I do adjust my CFLAGS for different packages, and Xorg was not compiled w/ these agressive CFLAGS. Also, I don't believe I actually have too any BMG ebuilds installed, its just a cary over from when they carried GNOME betas a while back. I've just un-done the BMG mask and only abiword and gimp were installed through BMG. Could I request a re-open?
What about binutils, glibc, alsa-lib, or anything else that could affect this such as nvidia-kernel or ati-drivers?
alsa-lib would be the only thing compiled with these CFLAGS. Today I did some more testing, and discovered the machine will not lock up if AGPGART is disabled in the kernel (but the clicks will still...click). I further tested and discovered that if I link openal and libsdl to my native one's (aggressivly optimized) all game artifacts cease. But if I switch back, they start back up again.
Great! So you have found your solution... *grin*
Well, I feel bad wasting a bug number, but I've been trying to fix this on my own for ~2 months before placing a report here.
It's alright... it really sounds like an optimization problem of some sort. I would recommend recompiling your entire system with sane flags.
