this program requires special kernel parameters or a patch for sound. I suggest to create a gentoo-wiki page explaining the solution. For a start we can have a look at [1]. The echo line needs modification to: echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss The ebuild could generate a message with the URL or the complete information for the user.

(my system has sound).

wolfET comes from a time when OSS was the default sound system for linux, so it doesn't work with alsa without a starter script. that script, found here (https://github.com/nullkey/et-sdl-sound) should be patched directly to the ebuild.
Rather than patching up this old dinosaur, we should package ET: Legacy instead.
ET:Legacy makes games-fps/enemy-territory obsolete. It has its own build script, but there is no ebuild for it. git clone --recursive https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy.git
i found etlegacy on google to be in the zugaina overlay, but it is not (https://gpo.zugaina.org/games-fps/etlegacy). why is it there? it is actually in the poly-C overlay. i am trying it now to see if sound works.
Hi Several Issues with games-fps/enemy-territory a) Needs special key, which needs to be obtained from fishy websites, else some or many game server kicks you out of the game (This behaviour is as is since several years AFAIK) b) No working sound out of the box c) Mods needed for these days screen resolutions. -- Suggestion Fix the ebuild text, end text by quoting => Needed etkey from website x,y, else game server will kick you => New client in work beeing made, called etlegacy (may be in overlay poly-c) -- As of today, etlegacy:poly-c complains about lua:5.3 => marked as testing, slot of lua ...
