How to ave sound on my /dev/dps ?

ps: alsa-oss is installed

My asound.conf

xarkam@HYKSOS:~$ cat /etc/asound.conf
# Set default sound card
# Useful so that all settings can be changed to a different card here.
pcm.snd_card {
     type hw
     card 0
}

# Allow mixing of multiple output streams to this device
pcm.dmixer {
     type dmix
     ipc_key 1024
     slave.pcm "snd_card"
     slave {
          # This stuff provides some fixes for latency issues.
          # buffer_size should be set for your audio chipset.
          period_time 0
          period_size 1024
          buffer_size 4096
          # rate 44100
     }

     bindings {
          0 0
          1 1
     }
}

# Allow reading from the default device.
# Also known as record or capture.
pcm.dsnooper {
     type dsnoop
     ipc_key 2048
     slave.pcm "snd_card"

     bindings {
          0 0
          1 1
     }
}

# This is what we want as our default device
# a fully duplex (read/write) audio device.
pcm.duplex {
     type asym
     playback.pcm "dmixer"
     capture.pcm "dsnooper"
}

###################
# CONVERSION PLUG #
###################
# Setting the default pcm device allows the conversion
# rate to be selected on the fly.
# duplex mode allows any alsa enabled app to read/write
# to the dmix plug (Fixes a problem with wine).

pcm.!default {
     type asym
     playback.pcm "dmixer"
     capture.pcm "dsnooper"
}

########
# AOSS #
########
# OSS dsp0 device (OSS needs only output support, duplex will break some stuff)
pcm.dsp0 {
     type plug
     slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

# OSS control for dsp0 (needed?...this might not be useful)
ctl.dsp0 {
     type plug
     slave.pcm "snd_card"
}

# OSS control for dsp0 (default old OSS is mixer0)
ctl.mixer0 {
     type plug
     slave.pcm "snd_card"
}

Cheer.

I had the same problem, in the alien arena folder there is a crx.sdl file or something like that, and a crx file

i got this from the Alien Arena forums..

do the following in the alien arena folder rename the current crx to crx.old and the sdl crx to replace it,

mv crx crx.old
mv crx.sdl (or whatever its called) crx

try it now, it worked for me
