I get up to this point. I think some other program has a lock on this
device. Since esd is not installed I'm thinking pulseaudio? Should
killing pulseaudio release /dev/dsp?
Startup messages from Wolf:
------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Invalid argument
Could not open /dev/dsp
------------------------------------
Usually these games don't interact well with pulseaudio.
For Quake Wars to make it work I had to use this,
$ /path/to/game/binary +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0 +set s_numberOfSpeakers2
Maybe you can try something similar. The game forums should be able to
help you better in this.
Good luck.
