SDL 1.2.14 FIXES ALL OF MY SOUND PROBLEMS!!
i was looking at sdl's release notes and it mentioned:

Updated ALSA support to the latest stable API
ALSA is now preferred over OSS audio. (SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dsp will restore the previous behavior.)
Improved support for PulseAudio

so i decided to find a ppa with the new package because synaptic doesn't have it.

this means no more workarounds like uninstalling libsdl1.2debian-alsa.
this is a genuine fix at the root of the problem.

EVERYTHING IS FIXED FOR ME

hopefully this helps everyone else also. here is the ppa i added:
ppa:dnjl/games

very sorry if this doesn't help others
