Mac PPC/x86 OpenAL Issues?

I've successfully built a demo on a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.4.9. The game runs flawlessly on the computer I developed with. However, when I try to run the game on a Core Duo Mac Mini, any non-streaming (WAV, at least) audio files come out as static and slow the game down drastically. I tried removing the OpenAL framework from within the package but the game crashed on startup.

Anyone have any ideas?

The only modification I made to the base TGB audio setup was VMPlayer and it's required resources.
