Regression Test Result

When attempting to play this game (even in an emulated Desktop window), the
game presents me with a black screen, and has done so since version 0.9.57.
After a regression test between versions 0.9.56 and 0.9.57, I isolated the
commit that caused it. 

As it turns out, the bug started when winealsa switched from the "default:0"
notation to "default", in order to allow pulseaudio to function. 

'Lo and behold, I turned off pulseaudio, and the game works. However, some more
oddities arise. The game's volume doesn't respond to changes in volume with the
keyboard hotkeys, and the volume decreases only when the OSS volume is changed.
This puzzles me, as my settings are clearly set to ALSA.

I have tested it with and without directsound driver emulation, and the result
is the same.

I attached the output of Git from the regression test and CC'd the author of
the patch.

I forgot to mention- the demo of the game behaves in the same way.
