RE: New Patch is HERE (August 30th!!) Feedback needed for final release. - torturedutopian - 12-17-2009
Hi !
Also using Ubuntu 9.10 AMD 64 & Penumbra collection.
I found a workaround :
- install pulseaudio-utils that contain "padsp" (oss -> pulseaudio wrapper)
- edit the Penumbra shortcuts and add "padsp" before the executables paths
- choose OSS audio output (so it needs the update)
Cheers !

building your own, or using your distributions "openal" driver instead of the distributed openal driver should also help with that. Just make sure it's the OpenAL-soft openAL implementation.
This is the Mess I am dealing with is trying to get openal-soft compiled cleanly enough so that i will work with a variety of distributions so it won't blow up. Either that or I stop distributin Openal and REQUIRE the use of the distribution version (This looks like what Regnum Online is doing for their linux builds)

Thanks for replying. Well, I have no clue. Maybe the guy from Icculus could give you a piece of advice about that ?
I wonder to what extent it is a good idea to statically link important libs. Couldn't you use the local one if available / more recent that the provided one ?

Hmm, I just figured out that Sacred Gold was also affected by the same issue in Ubuntu 9.10.
I have to disable the "libopenal" supplied with the game to force using the one build into Ubuntu, otherwise the sound is "trashed" once in a while.
According to you, who is at fault here ? What should be changed / fixed ? Who should I report this bug to ?
Cheers :-)

So what's the status here? Did you ever get PulseAudio support working? I hope so, because if so, you can use my 5.1 surround sound.

Hmm, actually, just disabling openal and using the "native" one (from the distro) doesn't work. It worked because I used some ppa with some openal/alsa/pulse... updates.
Anyway, with penumbra I can use padsp (not with sacred).
RE: New Patch is HERE (August 30th!!) Feedback needed for final release. - torturedutopian - 01-22-2010
One can install this openal version (works with ubuntu) for work around this problem (you have to disable the openal provided with the game) :
http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/o/openal-soft/libopenal1_1.10.622-1_i386.deb
or http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/o/openal-soft/libopenal1_1.10.622-1_amd64.deb
works with sacred gold too

Here some help for ubuntu users, all infos on this thread seem obsolete, dead links etc...
After moving libopenal files in Overture/lib and BlackPlague/lib :
So check this ppa : https://launchpad.net/~ibuclaw/+archive/ibuclaw
Or add it directly with this command :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ibuclaw/ibuclaw
Then update :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Here sound should be fixed now !
By the way nice game.
But it's quite freaking that my nvidia geforce 200 diplays as much fps in top quality than my ATI 4870 o_O...
However only slowdowns, no glitches.
Again it would be nice to have access to all versions Win, Lin and Mac for one payment !
