I've found a little troublew with audio on linux (debian etch)
filled: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-13514

The libopenal.so.1 bundled in archive with PN had something broken, if
i run secondlife viewer audio don't work (see jira ticket), if i delete
libopenal.so.1 from viewer chroot /lib/ audio back operational.

I dunno why standard libs are bundled, but i think is really better let
every linux user use the libraries from him distro repo, this kind of
libs are standard in almost all recent distro.

Some time ago other libs cause me (and not only me) some trouble:
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-11931

same kind of problem, libstdc libs broken, since i delete it and let
viewer use my system libs viewer back fully operational (and finally i
can see youtube videos inworld XD).

at least, why so standard libs are bundled? (a little GCC version
divfference can cause this kind of headache)
