Description
Using Debian Unstable version of ScummVM 0.6.0 (Mar 14 2004 18:01:37)
Documentation states:
"7.1) Playing sound with Adlib emulation: ---- ----------------------------------- By default an Adlib card will be emulated and ScummVM will output the music as sampled waves. This is the default mode for most games, and offers the best compatibility between machines and games."
But where does Adlib emulation's output actually go, because I have no sound or music? I haven't found a switch to set Adlib module's output option.
If I try to use Adlib emulation, I get these error messages
WARNING: Sound mixer initialization failed! WARNING: MIDI driver depends on sound mixer, switching to null MIDI driver!
I have ALSA and its OSS-emulation configured. The working ALSA device is hw:0,1. Sound drivers are from 2.6.2 kernel.

Sounds to me like you have permission problems on /dev/dsp
As erik suggested, this error indeed means that the SDL OSystem interface was not able to create a sound device. I would suggest apt-get source'ing ScummVM and placing the line:
warning("Couldn't open sound device: %s", SDL_GetError());
after "if (SDL_OpenAudio...) {" and before "return false;" in the source trees backends/sdl/sdl.cpp. Then rebuild the package for an better error message regarding your problem.
I'll make sure this debugging line goes into ScummVM 0.6.1
Closing bug, this is a system configuration issue.

To whatever the SDL library decides to use, I guess. I think that the first message means that SDL_OpenAudio() failed for whatever reason. If so, it's unlikely to be a ScummVM bug. Are other SDL applications able to play sound on your computer?
