Audio on Linux is a mess. I launch an Python script that uses audio then it breaks, and when the Python script is closed, I still hear the audio skipping and repeating like, "kakakakakakaka" in infinite loop. And PulseAudio seems to be frozen. Then I kill PulseAudio and finally the audio noise stops.
Oh, and I heard OpenAL downsamples stereo to mono on Linux due to a bug.
Whole audio on Linux is just a big mess.
