Does the game support Esound?
Not in the 1.0 release. Esddsp (a dynamically loadable object which will redirec
t /dev/dsp to esound) will not work with 1.0 because it's statically linked.
Version 1.1 has native support for esound. You can get the 1.1 patch on the
support page.

That's http://209.223.115.151/support for you. Hope this helps!
