Summary:                    idAudioHardwareALSA::Write: 4096 frames overflowed
and dropped
Description: 
Id's Quake IV and Doom III have Alsa support.
But the music sounds horrible and I see a lot of following message in the
console:

snd_pcm_writei short write: 3760 out of 4096
snd_pcm_writei short write: 3760 out of 4096
snd_pcm_writei short write: 3760 out of 4096
snd_pcm_writei short write: 3760 out of 4096
snd_pcm_writei short write: 1880 out of 2048
snd_pcm_writei short write: 940 out of 1024
idAudioHardwareALSA::Write: 4096 frames overflowed and dropped

The sound initalization output is:

------ Alsa Sound Initialization -----
dlopen(libasound.so.2)
asoundlib version: 1.0.11
opened Alsa PCM device default for playback
device buffer size: 5644 frames ( 22576 bytes )
allocated a mix buffer of 16384 bytes
--------------------------------------

if i pass '+set s_driver oss' to the startscript the client uses OSS
emulation and the sound is like expected

so whats wrong using alsa directly instead of the oss emu

Sounds like those apps' ALSA support is buggy.  Nothing we can do about it,
unless you can reproduce the problem with an open source app.
