No sound on Return to Castle Wolfenstein using Ubuntu 8.10 amd 64

[gdbutcher]

Anyone know of a solution to fix the sound in Return to castle wolfenstein?
I'm getting no sound at all.

I'm running a Fujitsu-siemens Amilo PA2548 laptop, The audio drivers are all ALSA. I managed to clear the signal 11 fault by changing this line:

./wolfsp.x86 +set s_initsound 0

in wolfsp. Could this be responsible?

I tried a variation of the ET fix, but without any luck:

sudo sh -c "echo 'wolf.x86 0 0 direct' > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss"
sudo sh -c "echo 'wolf.x86 0 0 disable' > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss"

Can anyone suggest anything?

Below is the output from the terminal, notes the lines:

It looks like the problem to me, anyone know how to fix it?

Heres how I fixed it if anyone is interested:

Open a terminal, input:

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Entered this line above the Exit 0 bit at the bottom:

echo "wolfsp.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

Saved the file, then:

sudo reboot

On reboot it worked, and everytime since.
