Comment 2 for bug 92180

I'm experimenting quite a same behavior using vegastrike with kubuntu feisty...

But, I don't have any sound at all : no music, no sound effects, nothing...

My kde sound system seems to work fine since testing sound from kde control panel is OK and sound is OK when playing video or music too...

lspci -v returns :
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation D865PERL mainboard
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 21
        Memory at febff800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]
        Memory at febff400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

This is an AC'97 compatible chip. With no hardware mixing, I suppose... :-(

kernel modules are all well loaded since audio is OK for others applications...

my openAL config file (~/.openalrc) is :
(define devices '(arts alsa native))

Sound related messages at startup are :

Could not open aRts library: libartsc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

But libartsc is installed !!!

dpkg -s libartsc0 returns "install ok installed" and /usr/lib/libartsc.so.0 is present.

Thus I can't figure where the message "Could not open aRts library: libartsc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" is coming from

Is the second message "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave" is due to the fact that dmix is not configured out of the box in feisty ?

Thanks for any help...
