The lack of shaders may be causing texture problems.

That a problem with mmtimer/dsound it's been giving me
no end of grief.

The CriticalSection, of semephore or something is
getting corrupt and the semephore isn't being released
properly causing a dead lock.


I've been trying to stabalise DirectX 9 and havn't
looked much deaper into the fault.

Try changing to alsa with hardware emmulation, it's
bad and you'll probably loose sound and have mmtimer
eat your CPU but it's better than a deadlock.

This looks like a reference counting problem on exit,
I've got some more work to do in that area, as part of
getting being able to reset the device.
