Hi Ignacio,

My old .alsoftrc was forcing everything to be played through OSS (I guess that 
used to
make sense back when OSS was the only reliable option, but now OSS seems to be 
broken).

I simply deleted the .alsoftrc file from my home directory. Now OpenAL sees all 
the
available options, and I get the following list when I run fgfs 
--show-sound-devices 

0.  "PulseAudio Default"
1.  "Flight Sound X Analog Stereo via PulseAudio"
2.  "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo via PulseAudio"
3.  "ALSA Default"
4.  "HDA ATI SB [VT1708S Analog] (hw:0,0) via ALSA"
5.  "HDA ATI SB [VT1708S Digital] (hw:0,1) via ALSA"
6.  "HDA ATI SB [VT1708S HP] (hw:0,2) via ALSA"
7.  "Flight Sound X [USB Audio] (hw:2,0) via ALSA"
8.  "PortAudio Default"
9.  "No Output"

(the "Flight Sound X" is a USB audio adapter for aviation headsets).
