Bug Description
Ubuntu 9.04, liballegro-4.2 version 2:4.2.2-2ubuntu1
I install and run allegro-examples and choose digitest. But instead of sound, I got this:
Error initialising sound
ALSA: snd_pcm_
This page suggests that pulseaudio doesn't like the unsigned (U16) samples that Allegro's mixer produces.

Upstream recently released Allegro 4.2.3, which works around this.

I just realized it might be hardware-dependent; in that case, it might be relevant to point out that I'm trying it on an ASUS Eee PC 900.
