Toycars does not start. It seems to be a problem of FMOD. I tried it with fmod-4.26.00 and with fmod-4.25.07-r1, both with the same result.

Works fine here, sounds like something is keeping your soundcard busy or ALSA isn't setupped properly.
seems sound-related rather than package-specific.
Thank you for the fast replies. Is there some way for me to debug this problem? I tried to start toycars with no other programs running. Furthermore sound seems to work in all other programs.
I had the same problem. I loaded the following kernel modules and it worked: snd-pcm-oss, snd-mixer-oss.
I got the same problem, even if I have modules loaded. lsmod | grep oss snd_seq_oss 20491 0 snd_seq_midi_event 4684 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 37580 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 4561 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 27424 0 snd_mixer_oss 10793 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 49136 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd 40993 17 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer
Sorry I didn't notice movie in mplayer in background. Loading modules correct the issue.
