Warzone2100 2.2 crashes on startup on Fedora 12 after recent system update

[rojcowles@…]

I installed Warzone2100 from the Fedora repository, 2.2.<something> I think now crashes on startup. Used to work so I think that a recent system update, say within the last few days, broke it. Then again the only recent updates appear to be openal related.

On advice from the wz2100 folks I tried running with sound disabled, warzone2100 --nosound, and it now starts up. Without --nosound it crashes so it appears related to the PulseAudio system

Building 2.2.4 from source gives, apparently, the same crash and the stack trace looks like

With the latest openal-soft from the Fedora 12 update repository (Fedora 12 Update: openal-soft-1.11.753-1.fc12) the problem appears to be fixed. I can run Warzone2100 with sound enabled.

Thanks!
