This suggests it's just a startup problem, otherwise you would have such 
a message every frame.

Thanks for the heads-up, I've fixed this locally already. I'm now 
looking at the position and orientation code again.

Alright, I've fixed it locally but it's beyond the soundmanager code.

Problem is that samples generated with user supplied data all shared the 
same name. I've made it a bit more obvious but still random.
