Zsnes problems (sound and segmentation faults)

Hi!

It's my first message so I say hello to the Arch Linux user community.
I'm not new on Arch, I used it with KDEmod for a long time, then I went to Debian with Openbox, and now I'm back on Arch (still with Openbox), because I think this distribution fits my needs more than Debian does.

I have two little problems with Zsnes:

- There are often segmentation faults when I want to launch zsnes:

~$ zsnes
ZSNES v1.51, (c) 1997-2007, ZSNES Team

[b]Erreur de segmentation[/b]

The error seems to appear at random, sometimes it's ok, sometimes I get this error. Since I'm on Arch64, I'm using the bin32-zsnes package from AUR (installed using yaourt).
It's not a big problem since usually I just have to try one or two more times to launch zsnes ; if I can't find a solution I'll just make a script which launch zsnes until it works.

- The sound volume I set with alsa isn't respected in zsnes: sound volume is always at maximum in zsnes and I have to use the zsnes GUI to control it. I would like the sound to follow what I configure in alsa (e.g. mute sound set using the "volwheel" trayicon applet means mute sound for zsnes as well). I guess it's because SDL sound doesn't use the alsa driver or something like this but I'm not sure and I don't know how to fix it.

Of course these are very small and ridiculous problems but I like to have my computer act exactly as I want it, so any help is appreciated.


Also, one more unrelated ridiculous problem, sorry for being a little bit maniac with my computer:
The deluge (bittorrent client) GTK interface doesn't want to remember my settings: after a reboot, all columns are always shown (but I don't need all them), and the window always appear at the top left corner of the screen with some predefined size. I guess it's just a problem with the way deluge is coded, but if possible I would like it to act like I want.
(it's unrelated with zsnes but I don't want to open a new thread for a so silly "problem")

Thanks.
