Yes, this happens in Quake3 also. After playing Quake3 for some time,
the sound would start reversing - and will continue to reverse even
after quitting Quake. This is the only program on my system that
causes that, as far as I know.

Don't hold your breath. Stereo swap bug has been in the Aureal driver
from the beginning, and is even present (in a more benign form) in the
Windows driver. I'm doubtful that it would be possible to get rid
of it completely. At least it's only limited to Quake now :)

Best regards.
