[Linux] Sound under teewars

We uses PortAudio, which uses ALSA.

I think what Coil means, is what dependencies teewars needs to make sound function properly when running under Linux. I'm having problems with this as well, but I'm not really sure it's a dependency related problem.. If you have a look at http://ix.teewars.com/trac/wiki/CompilingEverything you can see the dependencies for the game. In my case, they are fulfilled.

I brought this up in the irc channel, but I hadn't the time to finish what I started, so I'll guess I'm just going to hijack this thread! I guess more people than me are having problems with no sound in Linux?

Output when starting the program:

It really seems to load properly, but there's no sound in the game.. I have tried building 0.3.1 from source with bam, and I also tried the pre-built version. No success =/
If it's of any concern, I'm running Gentoo Linux, with a 2.6.22 kernel.

I'm not skilled enough to make a patch, but I made some "research".. I tried compiling a testapp from portaudios repository, which for some reason segfaulted when running it.. But a restart of the sound system (/etc/init.d/alsasound restart) and immediately running the testapp afterwards resulted success, and applying the same method on teewars has the same result: sound works. BUT playing a mp3 song in a media player, and trying out teewars again makes the sound go away =/

I do not have sound either, mine output (using 0.4.0-dev version):

Edit: I found out that I have sound, when there is no other app using soundcard.
