zsnes -ad sdl with libsdl1.2debian-oss installed on previous versions of ubuntu worked ok, although it definitely didn't produce the best quality sound. Some ways to increase this was to change the sound to 48000hz, and I was just recently informed that running with ROM-specific hacks turned off (zsnes -dh -ad sdl as shown here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4904969&postcount=13) may help as well.

But the best sound quality comes from using zsnes -ad oss with the libao library. On 64-bit hardy systems, this requires that you place the 32-bit libao libraries from /usr/lib32/ao/plugins-2/ in /usr/lib/ao/plugins-2 so that zsnes can use them.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to get zsnes + oss + libao + pulseaudio to work nicely together in hardy? Or at the very least, zsnes + sdl + libsdl1.2debian-oss + pulseaudio on the 64-bit arch (I assume this involves installing the libsdl1.2debian-oss 32-bit library instead of the 64-bit)?
