I had RealTek onboard sound, which is quite popular with Acer-PCs, and it had problems with some of the .ogg speech files. So I installed a "real" soundcard (a cheap one!) and now it works fine. I still have occassional crashes, when about 30 or 40 km off from harbour.

If you create your own .ogg-files make sure to choose "variable bitrate". Besides, Mono-files seem to be more reliable than stereo (two-channel) files.

Cheers, AS
