Unfortunately the briefing voices and the music don't work yet.  I have
partially completed code for that but have never had enough time to
finish it.  With a debug build (like what you're using) it will always
report something about a stub function in the audio or a music file that
didn't load.  When the code is finished that want be a problem but it's
just one of those things we have to live with for the time being.

As far as the crash goes, try running it in gdb so we'll know where it's
crashing.  If you don't already know how to do that just open up a
terminal window and go to the directory Freespace is in.  Type
"gdb ./freespace" and you'll get a "(gdb)" prompt.  Type "r -w -g" which
will run the game in a window and without grabbing the mouse.  Get to
the mainhall in the game and then exit as you would normally.  If it
crashes it will put you back at the "(gdb)" prompt where you type "bt".
This will print out a backtrace which you can send here and should help
us figure out where and why it's crashing.
