Worms Armageddon leaked beta: ingame audio mangled and causes crashes

Description
When you get Worms Armageddon to run after hacking around the stack allocation issue, the frontend works fine. However, ingame, audio is replaced mostly by white-ish noise, and the game frequently crashes (including always crashing when the game ends). It is always a segfault in GameSoundBuffer::Play(void*, int64) - an example stacktrace is attached.
A workaround is to stop the media server whilst playing the game, which my normal script does. Obviously this results in no sound at all.
Instructions to reproduce:
- Download the leaked WA beta (from http://pulkomandy.tk/~beosarchive/unsorted/ftp.beos.hu/ftp.beos.hu/beos/applications/games/worms/ for example)
- Extract it to some directory
- Download my package of fixes so far from http://tim32.org/~muzer/WA-fix-debug.tar.bz2 (the debug version linked here doesn't disable the media server, so that these crashes can be experienced) and extract this into the directory containing the WA binary.
- cd into the WA-fix directory extracted above, and run ./fix.sh . This will apply a binary patch to the executable and move various things around so the game will actually run (apologies for the hackiness of the current fixes, I couldn't get LD_PRELOAD to work for some reason).
- cd .. and ./PlayWorms.sh
- Reproduce the crash by starting a game (keep pressing the top-left icon for a quick game) and subsequently ending the game (for example by pressing escape and selecting quit).
I'm afraid I'm not a BeOS/Haiku user, but instead an interested Worms Armageddon player - I have never used either OS before a few days ago, so bear with me if I've done anything wrong (in particular, I'm not actually sure which kit this belongs in).

"cd into the WA-fix directory extracted above" <-- should now say WA-fix-debug

The sound is still crashing if you don't kill media_server before starting. This second bug should be investigated and fixed if possible.
