Sound problems in Icculus Duke3d port in Fedora 14

I compiled the Icculus port of Duke3d but am having problems with sound in game. Upon boot, the intro screens are loud and fuzzy as are all the sound effects. I receive this message in the terminal:

STUB: CONTROL_ClearAssignments (CONTROL_ClearAssignments, control.c:218)

I should note that I have removed pulseaudio from my system from the start so I don't think it can be a problem with that. Since I'm in Linux I was unable to select sound devices for my .cfg and it seems they were set to 0 by default (but I still get sound). Here is my audio:

[Sound Setup]
FXDevice = 0
MusicDevice = 0
FXVolume = 140
MusicVolume = 120
NumVoices = 8
NumChannels = 2
NumBits = 1
MixRate = 44000
MidiPort = 0x330
BlasterAddress = 0x220
BlasterType = 3
BlasterInterrupt = 5
BlasterDma8 = 1
BlasterDma16 = 5
BlasterEmu = 0x620
ReverseStereo = 0
SoundToggle = 1
VoiceToggle = 1
AmbienceToggle = 1
MusicToggle = 1

Music is a seperate issue as I'm not sure how Linux should handle either midi or whatever else the port supports. I know with SDL mixer you can use soundfonts but I'm not sure how it should work with this port.

Don't worry that problem is very easy to fix. Use the fantastic eduke32 port, the most advanced port in terms of bug fixes, scripting ability, and graphics (especially graphics). And it's the only source port still being developed. Download the latest version at the top of this list: http://dukeworld.duk...ke32/synthesis/ Because unless there's some special reason why you need to use Icculus, no one's going to help you with a sound problem with abandoned software.

Oh I just noticed you're using Fedora. Don't worry though eduke32 should work on any operating system if you compile it to do so. Here's the wiki article about it: http://wiki.eduke32....Duke32_on_Linux
