Sorry I should have written this down earlier:

Hmm... Well, I did notice yesterday that there seems to be a regression in the current development version that could cause it to think that a sound handle is busy when it's not. Perhaps it's related to that.

Fingolfin, it was obviously caused by that SoundHandle change. Just wait couple seconds until intro starts. We usually skip that part so it left unnoticed :)

I can't look at this currently as I am away on a conference. One thing that I can think of is that with the change of SoundHandle to be a uint32, we do not get automatic initialisation anymore. So all code using one would have to set it to 0 in the appropriate constructor. Maybe I'll just change it back to a struct type which gets automatic initialiosation, and which uses some standard C++ tricks to emulate an uint32 in all other regards...
And actually, I did try the FT intro before commiting this change, and i worked just fine back then for me... maybe this isan optimization/host sysyem dependant bug? Anyway, I can't say anything useful before I am back home (end of next week).

I came to the same conclusion a few days ago about some Broken Sword II regressions. I sent a mail to scummvm-devel about it, though if you're at a conference I can understand if you missed that.
(By the way, I'm not sure but I don't think initialising the handle to zero is enough the way isSoundHandleActive() is currently implemented.)

Yo Erik,
hmm, the only thing in isSoundHandleActive() which I perceive as problematic in the "handle == 0" case: A handle of "0" might actually be used. This is easily fixed, however.
I just checked in some code which might help the issue (I am still not at home, but now am visiting some friends, and I was able to plugin my laptop here :-). Note that it was and still is working fine for me, so i dunno if my changes actually have had any effect...

That's the problem I meant: that handle 0 might be used. In fact I have a nagging feeling that this is the very case I was seeing in Broken Sword 2, but I never bothered to verify that.
Since I never saw the Full Throttle bug myself, I can't say whether or not your changes have any effect on it. I can, however, confirm that you've fixed both BS2 regressions for me. Thanks!
For reference, they were:
* Starting the game with the "-b 866" command-line option. An MPEG cutscene is showing, but there's no voice-over. My guess is that it was waiting for sound handle 0 to become free, and that this was used for the cutscene audio.
* Starting the game with the "-b 3878" command-line option. Nico never started speaking. Again, I'm guessing it was waiting for sound handle 0 to become free, and that this was used by the background music.
But, as I said, they both work fine now.

I can't reproduce this, but in a case like this it should print an error message in the debug console. Does it and, if so, what does it say?
