I'm also not getting any sound. I've found that alex4 writes a log to
$HOME/.alex4/log.txt. My log below seems to imply that sound is being
successfully initialised though.

I just tried building allegro 4 from upstream source to try the
"addons/logg/play_ogg" program. Similarly when I run this with an ogg
file, I get no errors, but no sound. I don't see any application show up
in pavucontrol. I wonder whether this has anything to do with
PulseAudio?

Regards,
Ben
