Hmm, IIRC we only use fd_set. Does BeOS provide something like select() in
a different way, then? Where do the others come into play?

Thanks!

On Win32, the SDL sound server took a considerable amount of
resources (IIRC- correct me if I'm wrong, I've never seen the Win32 port
in action), so it might be worthwhile to try to get the UNIX sound server
running on BeOS, if possible.

OK, I'll adjust the SDL sound server to fall back to software pointer
rendering on BeOS.

Probably introduced recently, I'll try to fix this.
