xpilot - rplay - no sound

[Peter Garrone <pgarrone@acay.com.au>]

Hi, I have installed the latest stable xpilot rplay client debian
package version   4.1.0-4.U.4.

I cant get any sound.

I have not configured rplay, or xpilot, in any way.

I can play all the individual sounds in /usr/share/games/xpilot/sound,
using rplay and rptp.

When the client starts, it emits the message:
Directing sound to: localhost

When I do an strace on xpilot, It is obvious that it opens the sound
config file:
open("/usr/share/games/xpilot/sounds", O_RDONLY) = 6

However there does not appear to be any indication that it is opening
any of the sound files, from the
strace, that I can see anyway.
