It was as if the note cap had been lowered. So, the pipes and theo would sound sometimes, but mostly would not sound at all. Example: The current default sound cap is 64 simultaneous sounds. The behavior I observed was as if the number of simultaneous sounds was hovering around or over 64 tones, causing some tones -- which in this case were identifiable on pipes and theo -- to simply not play by being pushed off the 64-max sound table. The problem is this particular song was no where near creating 64 simultaneous tones and does not have this issue on the live server.

Further testing would be needed to confirm exactly /what/ is causing the behavior, but the above is the best way to describe it. I would seriously doubt it is something as specific as "three lutes = problems," but the issue is there and needs a closer look.
