trouble with Quake3+ALSA+debian
We have a fairly stock Debian/testing system. Layered over this is the
0.9.0beta6 ALSA packages (driver,lib,utils) and Quake3 Arena. We also
have a via686a sound card built on an Aopen-63k-pro motherboard.
The sound for all applications (xmms, kscd, realplay, etc.) works as
expected except for Quake3. I have read about the problems with Quake
in this newsgroup, but I would like to ask again for current knowledge.
We receive the message that it cannot find the /dev/dsp device. This
is strange because all the required modules are loaded and seem to be
working as they should.
Does anyone know what can be done to correct this problem? I have
attached the relevant configuration files.
Also, is 0.9.0beta6 more current than 0.5.11 ?
