Im trying to play this old game, Terminus, with alsa-0.9.2 with
OSS emulation but to no avail. With the OSS driver it works.

With alsa, it starts like this:
$ terminus
Opened /dev/dsp for writing.

Opened /dev/dsp for reading.

Set 16 bits

Info 123: Set stereo sound

Set 44100Hz audio

mixing 4/1024


It just hangs there. Stracing that process, I get lots of:
(...)
ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0
write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096
ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0
write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096
ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0
write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096
ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0
write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096
ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0
write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096
(...)

Any idea what this means?

My audio device is that ICH4 onboard one, snd-intel8x0:
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 24c5 (rev 02)

$ cat /proc/asound/cards 
0 [82801DBICH4    ]: ICH - Intel 82801DB-ICH4
                     Intel 82801DB-ICH4 at 0xd4800000, irq 10

I'm currently running 2.4.21-pre5-ac3
