Public bug reported:
[Bug report created after Alec Cormack's question
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eboard/+question/143832 ]
eboard is a graphical chess board. It is quite an old program and tries
to use OSS /dev/dsp device which no longer exists in recent
Kubuntu/Ubuntu versions.
In order to get sound the menu file for the program needs to be changed
to call eboard via /usr/bin/padsp which magically fixes the sound
problem.
I propose changing /usr/share/menu from:
?package(eboard):needs="X11" section="Games/Board"\
title="eboard" command="/usr/games/eboard"
to
?package(eboard):needs="X11" section="Games/Board"\
title="eboard" command="/usr/bin/padsp /usr/games/eboard"
[Solution tested and working both in Gnome or KDE]
