i want to note here, i don't think i actually saw any audio freezing
issues, but i was only working with ~30 seconds of audio. i made 4 mono
tracks.  it also appeared to be audible the whole time. i don't have any
nice equipment but i'll be stressing the hell out of my thinkpad's mic
to keep testing this.  its only after saving a project and then trying
to open it later that i get errors and sound never works again.
