Description
I have two systems with Mandrake 10.1, one of them has a soundcard, the other one has not (actually, it has, but it's still unrecognized). I'm using a CVS version of ScummVM (7-jan-2005).
The system with soundcard seems to work fine. In the system without soundcard ScummVM crashes early in the intro of "The Dig" (when the green computer display appears) and "Full Throttle" (while the Lucasarts logo is still shown). If I try to escape the intro, the same crash happens (it just says "Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)".
This happens even if I use the "-enull" option when starting scummvm, and I always get a "/dev/dsp: No such file or directory" message, and sometimes: "WARNING: Sound mixer initialization failed!"

it was propably caused by out of memory. freeing memory was when g_mixer->isReady() is true.

-e null is only for MIDI music, and has nothing to do with the digital audio used by FT and The Dig.
Possible reason: the code doesn't check whether the mixer is "ready" (by calling g_mixer->isReady() ) and hence starts queuing audio data, which never is consumed, since the mixer is not running. A crash then is the result.
