[solved] no sound in sdl games, oss

Just wasted ~3h of my life, i hope will save some people their time.

I'm using oss4. When pulseaudio was installed as dependency, sdl games sound disappeared.

Solution is either deinstall pulseaudio and reboot

or put
/etc/openal/alsoft.conf
drivers=oss

and
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=oss
(actually don't know if export works(setting openal.conf works for sure), i just deistalled pulseaudio, and have found in some forums, that export doesn't work)

oss4 rocks (;
