When running samnmax with latest CVS I get the following error early in the intro:

I can't exit scummvm nornally and have to kill -9 the process.

Running on Linux/PowerPC with latest bits of debian sid.

The rate error is simply a consequence of loadVOCFile() failing to load something.

Where exactrly in the intro does it crash? And which precise version of Sam&Max is this?

There is a patch in CVS now which will properly detect when loading a VOC fails, and then will *not* pass it on to the mixer.

However, that is only a cure for the symptoms; the real question should be, why exactly is it failing to load a VOC for you? Hum...

(you are not by chance using the FLAC patch?)

BTW I can't reproduce this with latest CVS (even though I applied a patch, there should still be a warning message). Using plain english talkie Sam&Max.

Maybe you are using a special version, or have the FLAC patch installed, or have a damaged/missing monster.sou file?

I'm using plain english talkie version of samnmax, without any third party patches or private modifications.

I will verify my data files tomorrow.

I can't reproduce it on my main (x86 linux) pc either

Note that I am (as you know, of course :-) on OSX/PowerPC. So an endian issue is out of the game. Very strange.
