It was discussed on games-devel and people did not rule it out completely.
But as the fmod authors doesn't even allow a non-commercial binary distribution
of their software I had to drop the idea anyway.

Thanks for that information. As it turns out vavoom is already on mentors.d.n!
Unfortunately it cannot run some games that are specially designed for zdoom
(I could not get this very cool total conversion to run with vavoom:

I've now packaged a installer-script that takes care of downloading and
building a zdoom package (http://mentors.debian.net/package/zdoom-installer).

Any comments on that?

Thanks for your help!
