No, not creepy. I had sound in Quake too. I did not have sound in xmame, which does use /dev/dsp. I'm not sure what device quake uses for sound, but I think it's /dev/audio.
This is what I get when attempt to start Quake as a normal user: ------------start--------------------- Sound Initialization PackFile: ./id1/pak0.pak : gfx/conback.lmp /dev/dsp: Permission denied Could not open /dev/dsp <--------!!!

well, this confirms that you are using svgalib quake, and that it is a problem with console control instead of sound... I guess you can disregard my previous post :) if you would like to run it as a normal user, you can just set it suid root and it will work fine... - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
