Bug Description
[Bug report created after Alec Cormack's question https:/
eboard is a graphical chess board. It is quite an old program and tries to use OSS /dev/dsp device which no longer exists in recent Kubuntu/Ubuntu versions.
In order to get sound the menu file for the program needs to be changed to call eboard via /usr/bin/padsp which magically fixes the sound problem.
I propose changing /usr/share/menu from:
?package(
title="eboard" command=
to
?package(
title="eboard" command=
[Solution tested and working both in Gnome or KDE]
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
