I emerged doom3, but when i run it there is no sound. I thought the alsa-oss bridge would take care of the sound, however it does not appear to be working. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run doom3 2. wait for sound 3. no sound Actual Results: no sound Expected Results: sound, not very scary without sound Since the recommended install from the handbook recommends alsa, and alsa-oss, It would be nice if you could support, getting sound to work wth this configuration. I'n not sure if there is a config problem on my side or if this will require a patch, but I will be happy to test whatever necessary to assist.
It is definitely a config problem on your end simply because I am running ALSA on all of my machines and it works perfectly. In fact, it even works on amd64 using 32-bit ALSA OSS emulation. I would check that you can use other applications setup to output to OSS. You might also want to kill any sound daemons you have running, such as artsd or esd.
