Package: libopenal-dev
Version: 1:1.3.253-5
Severity: important

I compile FlightGear CVS, libopenal (libopenal-dev) is one of its
dependances. I have not yet succeed to configure my soundcard, so I
haven't the luck to get the sound working.
Until now, when launching FlightGear, I get errors about ALSA and
AL, but it worked fine. Then this morning seeing a new libopenal-dev
version being installed, I recompiled FlightGear CVS, and then it can't
be launched anymore, I get these messages before the program exits:

AL lib: alsa.c:784: no playback cards found...

    OpenAL error (AL_ILLEGAL_COMMAND): constructor (alGenBuffers)
    Fatal error: Failed to gen buffer.
    AL lib: alBuffer.c:1097: exit() 1 Buffer(s) NOT deleted

I know the best solution should be making my soundcard works, but after
monthes trying to do so, I gave up... :/
