probably a bug, but not an importamt bug
-ao null is for us, for debugging audio stuff without soundcard
if you want to play without sound, use -nosound
(-ao null emulates a soundcard, with its timer, but probably not so accurate
as a real soundcard - or your soundcard is not so accurate as it? :))
