I installed the game Enemy Territory and the sound didn't work. First time I had it installed, I used a script
killall esd; et; esd
to make it work, but this time that didn't work. I opened the Volume Applet and changed "Select the device and track to control" from Alsa Mixer to OSS mixer, and it works. Why?
As far as I understand, I just changed which device I can control with the keyboard, the audio playback should still be the same.
So my question is, what exactly do I change with "Select the device and track to control" and why does the game work with one setting, and not with the other?
