Hrm.  As far as I can tell the actual effect of this patch is to not do
any of the per-format configuration for the sport if the sport has been
configured once already - as far as I can tell nothing ever resets your
'configured' variable and this is the only place that the data format is
taken into account.  Won't this mean that if a second data format is
played the audio will be mishandled since the hardware will not have
been configured for the new audio format?

If it's really not possible to reconfigure the hardware (I'm assuming
that this is what the actual crash is?) I would expect to see code added
which remembers the format that has been configured and then adds a
constraint in the startup() function enforcing that.
