Actually I found what I consider a much nicer fix :)

The problem with lugaru and sound with pulseaudio is the bundled versions of the sdl and al libraries (libsdl.so.1 and libal.so.1), they are either too old or not compiled with pulseaudio support. Fortunately they are binary compatible with the ones probivided by ubuntu so if you simply remove those two files you will force Lugaru to use the system versions and you will have sound.

Sweet, I gotta keep that in mind for the next time I install Lugaru on Ubuntu. Thanks, F.Ultra!

Nice, my not so old laptop crapped out a few weeks back and I decided that I hate windows, so I've been playing with Xunbuntu. This worked for me, thanks.
