Hi,

As PulseAudio is now the default sound daemon on Ubuntu, OpenAl-soft should be configured to output by default to pulse & fallback to alsa.

Please update /etc/openal/alsoft.conf with:
<<<
drivers = pulse, alsa
>>>

Regards,
Frédéric

It currently breaks good games like warzone 2100 or Glest.

Yeah, the mods in the first post caused my system to hang, requiring a hard reboot after running glest.
