A supplementary question: When I'm frustrated I like to play Freeciv
with myself - there's something profoundly cathartic about sending a
flotilla of ironclads against Houston and they make satisfying bangs.
At least, they do when it's working properly, and it worked just fine
when I was running under Mandiva 2006. Alas, I can't seem to coax any
kind of noises out of Freeciv under Dapper, whether through the speakers
or the headset!
I believe there's an issue with licensing for the freeciv sounds which prevents Debian and hence Ubuntu from being able to distribute them legally (or at least distributing them according to policy). You can download them separately from:
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/contrib/sounds/sets/
and put them in:
/usr/share/games/freeciv/stdsounds/
Or running this command should work:
wget -qO - ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/contrib/sounds/sets/stdsounds3.tar.gz | \
tar xzf - -C /tmp/ && \
sudo cp -r /tmp/data/stdsounds* /usr/share/games/freeciv/
