I'm sorry - I don't know of any workaround, but if you want to know
how to play quake without sound - here's what I did. First disable the
alsa sound modules in /etc/conf.modules, by commenting out all the
lines corresponding to alsa. Then run "lsmod", and remove all the alsa
sound modules from memory with "rmmod <modulename>". Now run quake -
it'll run without sound.
But you don't want to do this every time you run quake, so edit the
baseq2/config.cfg file, find the line `` set snddevice "/dev/dsp" '',
and change it to `` set snddevice "" ''. Now enable the alsa sound
modules again in /etc/conf.modules (it'll get loaded automatically the
next time it is used).
This was the hard way - this is how *I* found out the parameter to use.
But now since you know, you can just do this:
./quake2 +set snddevice "/dev/null"
This works fine. I wasn't able to give "" on the command line, so I
tried /dev/null. It worked, but I don't know how harmful it is for
your system.
If somebody knows how to enable sound in quake on the ALSA sound
drivers, please holler!

I've run DOOM more in the last few days than I have the last few
months. I just love debugging ;-)
