libopenal?

install openal or openal-soft and it should work. If it still doesn't work, you can take a look to the file /etc/openal/alsoft.conf. The default configuration does maybe not work if you use a rather uncommon sound driver output like OSSv4. Because of that I had to add "drivers = oss" to the file above.

you are welcome Ori! But I guess Ubuntu use like most Distros pulseaudio by default, so it should probably just work. The line "drivers = oss" is only right if you use this OSSv4 and removed pulseaudio.
