Audio is one of the more difficult things to work on because it relies on a third party middleware, is very difficult to debug, and for various reasons is very fragile and difficult to source control, so it's always a slog whenever I adjust anything of checking back to make sure I didn't break everything. That said, there are two audio changes this patch: [olist] [*]Audio priorities have been changed around a bit to hopefully make the disappearing player engine audio less likely. [*]Sliders have been added to settings to raise the number of simultaneous channels that can be heard. [/olist] The second change is kind of a hack, but until I find a more permanent and robust solution to the reported audio problems it's the best I can do. Raising the audio channels will make it less likely for sounds to cut out or not play correctly, but there is some CPU cost to this. There's still a couple remaining issues that are likely caused by the updated floating origin. Once those are fixed, this will be pushed to the main branch.
