Comment 8 for bug 1857810

This is still an ongoing issue despite the fact there has been a new Ubuntu release Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla).

This suggests using osspd-alsa but it's pretty much the same with alsa-oss (aoss) which causes crackling/popping noises and echoes on OSS mode of ETQW, most probably due to OSS to ALSA to PulseAudio nature of the process.

ETQW (OSS) with osspd-pulseaudio:

------ OSS Sound Initialization ------
WARNING: failed to open output sound device '/dev/dsp': Input/output error
WARNING: sound subsystem disabled
--------------------------------------

Installing and utilizing libpulsedsp:i386 does make sense and indeed it returned a different warning but the result is the same, no sound on ETQW (OSS).

ETQW (OSS) with libpulsedsp:i386:

------ OSS Sound Initialization ------
opened sound device '/dev/dsp'
ioctl SNDCTL_SYSINFO failed: Invalid argument
this ioctl is only available in OpenSound.com's OSS implementation. If you run Linux kernel OSS or Alsa OSS, don't bother.
WARNING: ioctl OSS_GETVERSION failed
close sound device
WARNING: sound subsystem disabled
--------------------------------------

I am able to get sound with ALSA mode of ETQW but it has issues with microphone, therefore I need to use OSS mode of the game that seems to not working due to osspd-pulseaudio and libpulsedsp:i386 failure. Is there any progress on the issue?
