[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 304255] Re: Apps using openAL crash along with the sound system

[Luke Yelavich]

If you set the device setting to default, and ensure pulseaudio is
running on intrepid, or preferably jaunty, do you get the same behavior
as you would if you set the device to pulse? I.e does the sound play the
same, no crackling, popping etc?

Bug description:
Ever since I upgraded to Intrepid, I have been facing an issue with the sound system, which I have discussed here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=994172

Editing /etc/openal/alsoft.conf and changing the device value in the section titled [alsa] as below fixes it (at least for me).

device = pulse

However, it would be easier if the default settings handled this automatically.
