+===============================================================================
+If you hear cracks and pops with some applications, adjust the
+OPENAL_BUFFER_SIZE environment variable, for instance:
+
+ export OPENAL_BUFFER_SIZE=8192
+ fgfs
+
+If the OPENAL_BUFFER_SIZE environment variable is not set, the default sound
+card buffer size is used.
+
+Increasing the audio buffer size increases the audio latency but decreases the
+CPU usage; decreasing the audio buffer size decreases the audio latency but
+increases the CPU usage (which can cause cracks and pops).
