ALSA

Sure. From 2.3-2 with -dbg packages installed:

Note that running under gdb seems to reliably cause a crash after
less than a second of playback, whereas the time until crash is
more variable without.

Also, sounds appears generally well-functioning on this system; it's
not a crash that appears with other programs.
