No sound without pulseaudio #258

Similar issue to one in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/21 (it however looks to be focused on s3tc support, so I am creating separate one here)

After removing pulseaudio from system audio stopped working in source based games (Counter Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2 Deathmatch (Beta)). Most of other games still have sound, just directly using alsa without any tweaks (Counter Strike classic, Dwarfs, Solar 2, FTL), so it is problem with source itself.

In fact I am getting this in terminal:

SDLAUDIO: SDL_OpenAudioDevice() failed: Could not setup connection to PulseAudio

It looks SDL have some trouble autodetecting proper audio backend properly.

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa

as a workaround works.

Thank you, this should be resolved in the next release. :thumbsup:

This was fixed a bit ago, for all the titles that have shipped since then. Any remaining titles should be fixed in their next release.
