Who knows... maybe it works with a set of soundcards/chipsets/sound
drivers but fails with others or perhaps Mepis packagers have applied a
patch to solve this :-?
It seems that xboing in wheezy (and lenny and squeeze...) is also 2.4-31,
it seems the package has not been updated since long time. Anyway, isn't
this game like Arkanoid? This can be nowadays played online, neither your
bandwith nor VGA card will even notice the load ;-P
