python-soya: can't init sound

[Moses Moore]

Package: python-soya
Version: 0.13.2-4ubuntu1
Severity: normal


Trying to run a game that uses python-soya (balazarbrothers), and I'm
  getting an error during the sound init:

* Soya * version 0.13.2
* Using OpenGL 1.3 Mesa 7.2
*   - renderer : Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 4x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL

*   - maximum number of clip planes   : 6
*   - maximum number of texture units : 8

This problem was reported in Debian, and may have been fixed there too.
