Thanks for bugfix. But why only alsa support? How I understand if first 
devices (written in openalrc) doesn't work, then use next devices. 
Example:
(define devices '(arts esd alsa sdl native null))
if arts works then it is used
or if it doesn't work then openal uses alsa

I think, first must be  arts, esd for kde and gnome, because they  must be 
used in this dm for minimising problems with sound.
