sound stopped working

[Joris Huizer <jorishuizer@planet.nl>]

Hello,

Still working on a 2.4.24 kernel, I discovered there was no sound even 
though a program was supposed to play sounds - and also that others play 
sound, either;

These are specs from the systeminfo script that was posted here, resently:

Can anybody help me to find out what's the problem? I found out some 
time after doing an apt-get on files the openoffice.org sources depend 
on but I'm not at all sure wether that's related

Thank you for any advise - if you need more info please tell me how to 
get it
