Like the FAQ says we like to get the output from --debug, that give us
a bit more to go on.

Perhaps you have a buggy audio driver?  You can try setting the env. variable
OGLE_OSS_RESET_BUG that enables some workarounds.
I.e.  Do 'export OGLE_OSS_RESET_BUG=1' in the terminal you run ogle from
or simply 'env OGLE_OSS_RESET_BUG=1 ogle --debug /dev/dvd'.
