Can a mod please clarify: should this be re-opened or a new ticket submitted for the newly introduced bug that supposedly fixed this one?
14w29a is affected too. Can a mod please update the affected versions?
Went back and confirmed with 14w28a as well.
Confirmed this is still happening with 14w28b using "CONFIRM FROM SCRATCH" instructions. I used flat terrain and built 3 platforms - one at Y=30, Y=31, and Y=32. Platform built at Y level 31, when re-loaded, has the shadow disappear when walking over top of the shadow on the ground. (Shadow stays for platforms at Y=30 and Y=32)
Confirmed bug with Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64; Java 64-bit 1.7.0_25 for 13w36a snapshot. Also confirmed you can take a screenshot (F2) while in your inventory while using 1.6.2
Screencast demonstrating the lack of audio - despite all other environment sounds being there (and checking the sound levels are at 100%)
Natural rain falling, no sound effect of rain.

Added comment: unable to reproduce the lost sound effects when playing a jukebox/music CD; however, I do confirm the same error message occurs. In order to reproduce the complete loss of sound, you have to wait until in-game music plays.
Played again 20 mins with music option turned off (sounds on) and no crash.

Mine crashed on minecraft:sound/piano3.ogg so not just a problem on hal2.ogg - voted up.
Looks like it might have been fixed in 14w31a - I've tried my own test world and the one attached and cannot reproduce. I'll try from scratch as well - but can anyone else confirm the status in 14w31a released today?
