You must remove Allegro's sound driver before your program terminates.  If it
crashes without removing the sound driver [via allegro_exit() or
remove_sound()], you will probably get really bad noise from your SB when you
try to run other programs or even just do something from DOS.  I do all my DJGPP
programming from Win95, so I just kill the DOS box and start a new one when my
program crashes without removing the sound driver.
