Testing with tony's gomer patch confirmed that much of the problem
seems to be with the missionpack code although i did have the
occasional buffer error in the standard game. The missionpack locked
with the familiar hitsound beeps, so I sigtermed it and thought this
could be useful information for where it might be stuck:

serverCommand: 56 : map_restart

^1ERROR: while buffering data for music stream - Invalid value

Program received signal SIGTERM, Terminated.
