Bug Description
Binary package hint: fretsonfire
Using Ubuntu 8.04.1 with kernel v. 2.6.24-19-generic, I tried downloading Frets On Fire (package fretsonfire 1.2.451.dfsg-2 in universe repo) and FretsOnFire-1.2.512 from sourceforge.net. Running either one from the terminal gives me the following error:
$ fretsonfire
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.

pygame.error: No available audio device
I have checked my audio devices and they work properly with Audio/Video files. I do not know much about this package other than it's a game like Guitar Hero.
The game seems to start in both Gutsy and Intrepid (Alpha 2) but not Hardy. I couldn't use it properly in Intrepid since I don't have sound yet, but in Gutsy it plays ok.
I am not sure because it's the first time I use it but shouldn't the music be playing in the background even if I don't press the keys? In Gutsy, it will only play the music if I get the keys right (a little different from when I played GH). I'm not sure if this second issue is a bug?
