Binary package hint: simutrans

In Intrepid, simutrans fails to start:

Thanks for the bug report. This bug appears to be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/274577, so I'm marking it as such. You can try typing "sudo killall pulseaudio" in a terminal, and then try starting simultrans - it just might work.
