Hmm, they work fine for me with 1.0. I'm waiting on 1.1 support until
after it's a bit more complete but it will be supported. Check the
fs_debug.log file in ~/.freespace/Data and look for anything ACM or
OpenAL related. It may have an issue either playing or decoding the
data, or be totally unrelated to that.

There was several training mission bugs that were directly related to
the German version. I can't remember if this was one of them or not but
I'll give it a run through and see if I can find any issues. One issue
was a key-press check which has long since been fixed and one or two
others were string checks which might have broken since it was fixed
previously.

I'll put this on my list to test this weekend.

I have the German version of the missions and none of them specify voice
filenames like the English version does. I suppose it's possible that
the voices don't exist in the German version, or they are in English and
not used. I seem to remember asking one of the German beta testers
about this when I was originally doing the port but I don't remember the
answer right now.
I'm not sure where the stutter is coming from but there is a sound that
plays (on purpose) at the start but it only lasts about a second.
