Minecraft sound (ALSA)

Hey guys! I would like to play Minecraft on my FreeBSD box, so I installed games/minecraft-client. It starts, but I do not have any sound. The reason for that is that Minecraft uses ALSA and ALSA does not find any soundcards: Starting up SoundSystem... Initializing LWJGL OpenAL
