This ultimately results in a use-after-free inside FNA.
There's an extensive Twitter thread about how I found it here:
Reproduction steps: Summon a ballista using the Ballista Rod and wait for it to fire. The access happens immediately at the end of the firing sound.
This is one of those "you get away with it until you don't" kind of bugs, where it doesn't have harmful side effects *now*, but if the wrong change happens (like updating FNA and MonoKickstart) suddenly you have strange behavior or a crash that's extremely difficult to impossible to track down.
Obviously I have no insider information, but I suspect this may be a contributing factor in your decision to update to a still-very-old version of FNA instead of the latest, which has preserved audio panning issues and may itself be a contributing factor in the 4K isses on Linux.
