If it's hanging, then it's usually rather difficult to to trace where it's
happening. You could trying running it in gdb and see if gives you anything
useful when kill E-UAE.
I would hazard a bet, however, the problem is the general flakiness of the
ALSA powermac driver. I experience similar problems here.
You could try updating your kernel or using E-UAE's OSS driver instead.

Hmmm. I dunno off-hand. I did have a GTF calculator as an Excel spreadsheet
somewhere. I'll see if I can dig it out. In the meantime, you could try
building and using this:
