[EN] [solved] no sound with oolite

[orinoco]

The game runs but without sound. Any ideas?

[devil]

Never heard of. And with the wealth of info you provide, I dare say this will stay a very short thread.

Strange, I did a little test and sound works fine here.

Btw: Looks like an old game I played 25 years before on my commodore C64.

Never heard of? The game? The problem?

If there were any hints I would post them. Other software have sound output. oolite started from commandline gives no output. From that point of view I have no idea what I should add to give a more brief description.

Now I have sound with oolite. :oops:

It's annoying me that oolite doen't demand missing soundfiles and the soundfile package is optional for this game.

Yes, that is really weird.

I simply downloaded a *.tgz from their website and it just worked.

In debian proper this is no problem, because recommends get installed by default. We have recommends deactivated for it's spamminess. so user has to take an extra step in some cases. That does not change the fact that sound should be a dependency, not a recommendation.
