    Best thing to do is to rip pulseaudio out of the system entirely. Unfortunately you're using Ubuntu so that's not an option; it infects everything right down to gdm.
    Thankfully Kubuntu doesn't use it. There's some pulseaudio package installed, but It's not running.

      Solution

      Problem solved!

      It was this bug:
      Binary package hint: hedgewars This is reproducible. I just start a local single player game, when I try to exit the game does not exit. The cpu usage is 100%, top processes are hedgewars and hwengine. Killing hwengine will exit the game. ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Oct 18 19:37:29 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: hedgewars 0.9.11-5 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=pt_PT.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, user) LANG=pt_PT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSig...

      It's an SDL audio issue, and virtually all linux OpenGL games are SDL-based.

      So the solution was to remove libsdl1.2debian-alsa and install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio.
      Go figure right?
