To eliminate all variables, I have loaded the 0.6.2 image from sourceforge and untar'd the extra sounds package onto the flash. I have this running now and will see if it is stable. As for including the extra sounds package in the build... the only way to make it fit into the ram is to use GSM format only for both the core sounds and extra sounds... so I have to change makeopts for both core and extra. I don't believe that it is necessary to have ulaw for either sound package... who cares if gsm is slightly lower quality and the sum of core gsm + extra gsm is less than the sum of core gsm + core ulaw. I prefer the additional sounds over higher quality.
Examining my configuration, I recently added the growl.agi script that someone posted here recently. Maybe that is causing problems... so I have commented it out also.
