Emulators installed:

app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-sdl
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs

OpenAL sound works fine in native 64-bit apps.

Comment 1 Nikolay Shley 2007-03-25 05:08:35 UTC

Problem was in old version of openal.so library, that conflicts with aRts daemon autosuspend feature. 
Solution: 
1. Delete old openal.so
2. Create symlink /usr/lib32/libopenal.so --> openal.so
After that, ut2003-demo works fine.
