Where are the standalone installers for windows & linux?
Had to use padsp here as well (Kubuntu 13.04) but then everything works great. Looks like an awesome, old school RPG
Got that game on Groepees BeMine 6.
Very good! Hope to get second Eschalon too!
I finished the game last night and it was awesome!
I don't pay Desura so that I can hack around with configuration files to get sound working. If I'm paying money for a game it should work on just click & install.
Just noticed this. It's a case of Ubuntu deciding to drop (even optional) support for something that had once been the standard. There's not much Desura or game developers can do about this. I'm still amazed that stream is coming to Ubuntu. They will hit the same problems.
In this case Ubuntu killed any chance for seemless support for Open Sound system. They even broke software in their own repositories without warning developers in their own community. Eschalon (and several other games I have) pre-date this decision by a single distribution. I guess devs are supposed to be rebuilding their entire catalog for each Ubuntu release.

I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to Mint 14 (based on 12.10) during the holidays and I'm still fixing things that where arbitrarily broken for no good reason. At this moment I'm compiling a new kernel for the purpose of unbreaking this problem.
to get sound working on opensuse 12.1 i had to add aoss to the command path in the icon of my workspace.
like this:
aoss /home/Bla/desura/desura %U
and now sound works perfekt!
Why does the game only provide a stand-alone version for Macs? The sequel on Desura provides stand-alone versions for Windows and Mac both, so it shouldn't be a problem to do it for the first one as well.
Just to confirm that the below worked for me on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit
"for the sound to be working through desura click on the desura icon and then settings > general> global game launcher and add /usr/bin/padsp, if you use pulse audio sound system then sound will always work"
Oh and i really like the oldschool feel of the game. :)
Gave negative karma on this *by mistake* I'm sorry, meant to give it positive... Both the above posters combined gave me a perfect solution:
padsp /(your path to desura)/desura %U
Fixes sound on Mint 14 for Both Eschalon games! :D
