sound in linux

[tux]

How make, that zeroballistics will run in sound mix mode? I have ubuntu 9.04. Today i need stop all music players if i want to listen sounds from instance of zeroballistics game. This is not good for me.

PS> all other sound application work in sound mix mode good
PS> this problem is not specific for 9.04, but also 8.04 and 8.10

I just downloaded and ran the game on Opensuse 11.2. It doesn't want to run using Alsa, only /dev/dsp is used. There's no /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_empty.so in my distro and probably in Ubuntu too. Please improve the game, it should run with Alsa on most popular distros, /dev/dsp shouldn't be used as it blocks other programs from utilizing soundcard.

Hi!

If you have problems with sound, try deleting libasound.* from the shared_libs subdirectory, and report whether that helps.

merry christmas!
