Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xpat2
The sound does not work in Xpat2 when the sound option is turned on.
This appears to be due to the fact that the program checks for the
presence of /dev/audio before playing sounds, and /dev/audio is no
longer present by default in Ubuntu 10.10. The following patch applied
to the source file '/src/X-sound_SUN.c' seems to solve the problem.

After extracting the source file 'xpat2_1.07.orig.tar.gz' downloaded form the
Ubuntu repository and applying applying the supplied patch 'xpat2_1.07-16.diff'
I also found it necessary to change a line in the '/src/Xpat.tmpl' file to make
the directory structure match that presently in Ubuntu 10.10.
'XPATROOT = /usr/games/lib/xpat' changed to
'XPATROOT = /usr/share/games/xpat'
