Bug#805803: frozen-bubble: frozen-buuble doesn't start; crashes in [Sound Init]

[Bruce Robson]

Package: frozen-bubble
Version: 2.212-4+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

frozen-bubble crashes during startup about the time the last loading dot
is reached. If I start running it from the command line the following is shown
$ /usr/games/frozen-bubble
        [[ Frozen-Bubble-2.2.1beta1 ]]

This was happening when I was running the media player vlc to play a .aac file.
frozen-bubble did start after I closed vlc.
