Was the ISO a plain dump from disc, compressed and/or scrubbed?
Compressed.

uuuh, forget what I said...now it did crash, though some seconds later...
hm, I'm rather sure I got ingame once without issue...seems to be a more or less random issue. It didn't help with the audio issues ingame, anyway, though...

It was reported that it crashes with OpenAL also.

There are random crashes with DSound as well, but obviously a bit fewer? The sounds overall are badly bugged in DKC Returns. Parts of the music / efects randomly stop working, metallic noise comes up occasionally (real loud). Something with the DSP is WAY off with DKC Returns.

Tried latest SVN. Game crashing on the press 2 to confirm that you're wii mote is sideways. Seem to be related to the sound as that's the plugin in the crash report.
dsaudio/x2 - crash
openal - can get past it.
So I got in level by selecting no sound and made a save state.
Closed and selected dsound and loaded : crash
selected x2: crash
selected openal: loaded save state fine and played, no crash.

- Status changed from New to Fixed
Should be fixed by r6480.
If the missing sounds/effects still happen then something more aggressive probably needs to be done with the ssbm loop detection.
