[quake2] Choppy Sound; 0.15 binaries; Suse 8.1

[brendanburns at attbi.com]

Hmm,
I've not seen this before.  Quake2 does not have a alsa native driver right now
(although its a good project to do...), so I'm not sure if there's a fix for you
right now.  (quake2 does support aRts if you're running KDE)
