    I have a FC1 machine that seems to have problems with games using SDL
    with sound. I get no audio for TuxRacer, Neverball, Supertux, when I
    start them from the menu.

    However, if I open a terminal and type:

    export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dsp

    and start the game from the command line, then I do get the audio.
    (Thanks go to MatzeB on #supertux for helping me get it going!).

    Is anyone else experiencing the same sound problem? I don't have this
    problem on my FC2 box, and I don't recall this being a problem on my FC1
    until just recently -- but I haven't tried playing a game in a very long
    time on this FC1 box.

    Can I simply add export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dsp to my ~/.bashrc?

    Perhaps this output may be helpful:
    [charshaw@localhost charshaw]$ ps ax | grep esd
    15583 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2
    -spawnfd 26
    23351 pts/1 S 0:00 grep esd
    [charshaw@localhost charshaw]$ ps ax | grep arts
    23353 pts/1 S 0:00 grep arts

    Thanks,
    Clint
