Bug Description
The OSS API was removed from the Ubuntu kernel.
Koules was written a long time ago, and still depends on the presence of /dev/dsp. It works perfectly well with the padsp wrapper, e.g. "padsp koules". However, the start menu in Unity at least does not start the program this way.

I just tested koules on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
Running
```
sudo apt install koules
koules
```
gives
```

It seems there is a missing font which should be a dependency of the package.
