As reported in http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=33527#c17

# SDL_AUDIODRIVER="alsa" civclient

SDL_AUDIODRIVER is not used anywhere in freeciv.  It's particularly
telling that it doesn't matter what value is put in the environment.

The two reported crashes show:

#1  0x4cbe33f2 in g_slice_alloc () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
...

#16 0x080529b1 in gtk_main_quit ()

Actually, I cannot fathom the latter, since it isn't even in freeciv!

Our code is:

   /* the locale has already been set in init_nls() and the Win32-specific
    * locale logic in gtk_init() causes problems with zh_CN (see PR#39475) */
   gtk_disable_setlocale();

   /* GTK withdraw gtk options. Process GTK arguments */
   gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

If you really have no arguments to freeciv itself, then gtk_init() isn't
processing any arguments here.  I'm failing to understand what's wrong
with freeciv?  Isn't this a libgtk bug?

Google shows a boatload of reported bugs with SDL_AUDIODRIVER, and many of
them with =alsa going back to 2002.
