The attached patch might work by switching the ALSA device to "default".
Could you rebuild osmose-emulator and test it?

In this context "plughw:0,0" refers to passing the sound to the first
soundcard on the first device, after doing any necessary rate
conversion. This is bad because:
- It hardcodes the device (which as you found, may not even exist)
- It is incompatible with PulseAudio

Thanks,
James
