TUI sounds print ALSA lib errors into terminal on audio-less devices (Termux/Android) #51841
On Android 16 + Termux (no audio device), enabling sounds makes every completed turn print ALSA lib ... lines into the terminal, corrupting the TUI as ghost text. Disabling all sounds stops it. Audio backend errors should go to the debug log, not stderr/TTY.
This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
#41763: ALSA errors from audio startup corrupt the TUI on Linux without a sound device; this report describes the same terminal corruption triggered by sounds.
#41890: ALSA “cannot find card 0” errors appearing in the TUI on Linux without an audio device.

Duplicate of #41763 (same ALSA-over-TUI symptom and root cause). Added the Termux/Android sounds-on-off controlled evidence there.
