If you install the game with wine you will have some nice shortcuts on the desktop.

winecfg
and there under the Audio tab I change the sound driver used: ALSA was checked, so I uncheck that and check OSS driver instead. After that there was some delay with the sound so I reduced the quality a bit. ( don’t make that much difference when the sound is only ‘bam-bam-bam-bam’ 😛 )
The configuration panel looks like this:
Enjoy playing 🙂
