If you missed the recent ezQuake 2.1 beta release changelog I just wanted to let people running ezQuake under Linux know that it has new soundcode ported from FodQuake (thx bigfoot) and sound is working a lot better than before.

You can have other sound sources than ezQuake at the same time. ALSA/OSS and Pulseaudio code is ported. Although Pulseaudio code is experimental and will most likely require you to put "s_driver pulse" in all configs loaded so its loading it from startup. Changing it ingame usually takes 10-30 seconds to make it load.

Choose driver with s_driver "alsa/oss/pulse".

If the new drivers for some reason doesn't work for you (please post a bug report then), then you can set s_uselegacydrivers 1 and it will load old ALSA/OSS code (s_driver alsa/oss).

Feel free to let me know how it works for you!
