When using exult there seems to be a problem with the sound. Both music and sound effects are drowned by some background noise for a short while, and this background noise seems to keep repeating itself with very short intervals, making the game almost unplayable unless you turn all sound off. Turning off sound effects does not stop the noise, neither does turning music off. To get rid of the background noise you have to turn both music and sound effects off.
The problem does not seem to be related to SDL in any way. Other applications that use the SDL mixer don't have this problem. Timidity works fine aswell.
Did I miss something during setup? Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? Ultima 7 is so much more fun with the sound and music.

Re: Sound and background noise
I forgot to mention my setup 
I use exult v0.98rc1 on Slackware 8 with kernel version 2.4.18. I have an SBLive! sound card.

Re: Sound and background noise
Several others reported problems when using OSS. In both cases switching to ALSA removed the noise. We don't know the exact cause of the problem with OSS yet.
