The sound cache is full on a full server after some seconds. It seems to be limited to 67 MB only. I have increased mem_min_heapsize, mem_max_heapsize and snd_async_minsize, but the 67 MB limit is still there... So there must be some other way to increase it.

How is snd_async_showmem looking? I'm pretty sure the cache is working for me since I always have stuttering after starting the game but as I play this usually becomes less common over time, I imagine that is because the content is kept in memory. Btw, is there anyway to increase the size of the sound cache?
