No audio in several games - can't access alsa-pulse.conf

[Pshemas]

So I've thought about bringing the audio issue I'm having with several games into one topic as those seem to have the same root cause. In short - quite a chunk of games do not have sound and I see this (or very similar) in command line:

ALSA lib conf.c:3942:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /etc/alsa-pulse.conf
ALSA lib pcm.c:2501:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Here's the list of games with this problem that I've tested so far:

Bastion Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Don't Starve Invisible Inc MadMax (in the WB start "movie" clip there's sound, but no audio ingame) Rise of the Tomb Raider Torchlight 2

Will keep on testing and will update the list as soon as I find new ones.
