tuxracer sound

[Dave Andruczyk]

Never had any problems here,  but I use gentoo,  (emerge tuxracer) and it
worked fine out of the box.. 

RPM distros sometimes split off too much stuff from a package. (like
sounds/graphics) so at least the basic application will run.  Whether or not
that's a "Good Idea" is another question.
