Systems don't seem to like the default 'SEXYAL' sound system that fceultra uses (especially on AMD64 systems), but the SDL sound system works fine. Here is a patch to disable SEXYAL and instead use SDL. It basically just patches the configure.ac to turn off SEXYAL, I've also attached an updated e-build which applies the patch and does an eautoreconf ...
Created attachment 101941 [details, diff] Patch goes in ${FILESDIR}. Disables SEXYAL for sound.
Created attachment 101942 [details] Updated e-build, applies patch, etc.
inCVS. thanks for the bug report and patch.
Bringing back old ghosts... I don't know if it's just on my system but the fceultra-0.98.12-nosex.patch brakes the sound for every ROM. Disabling it in the ebuild solves the problem
