ARAnyM and the sound card

[Thorsten Glaser <t.glaser@tarent.de>]

Hi,

a slightly annoying misfeature of ARAnyM is that it (or rather,
its first instance run) grabs control of the sound card upon
startup. This is bad because I either need to always remember
to play some music before/during starting ARAnyM or cannot do
that for the entirety of its run. (At least I have found neither
a command line nor configuration file option to disable use of
the soundcard…)

Please add some nosound flag, or a Pause Popup option to free
it (close(2) on the /dev/dsp filedescriptor should do the trick).

Thanks,
