Bug#977272: steam: No sound in certain games without libasound2-plugins:i386, suggest adding as dep

[Melvin Vermeeren]

Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.59-4
Severity: normal

Hello,

A friend of mine encountered a problem where there was no sound in the game
Don't Starve Together. The error in this case is:
> FMOD Error: Error initializing output device

It worked fine on my system, so after some installed package comparison for alsa
and pulse and searching we found the following.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/2968

Installing libasound2-plugins:i386 package fixed the problem, sound works
properly. I suggest adding this package as a dependency to the steam package in
some form, so it's pulled in automatically. I already had wine installed, which
pulled in this specific package for me.

Thanks!
