TurtleArt doesn't start on amd64 due to 32bit alsaaudio.so in bundle

TurtleArt doesn't start on Ubuntu/amd64 (and probably any other non-i386 system):

Traceback (most recent call last):

ouch. any recommendations on how to handle this? (this is part of the more general discussion about bundling)

What is the AudioGrab exact functionality? Can this be upstreamed - is this functionality already somewhere upstream?
