Ah yes, thanks.

It compiles and loads nicely, but there are some problems using it. I tried 
starting UT2003 while XMMS was playing, and there was indeed sound from both, 
but the UT2003 sound was quite choppy. When I exited UT2003, the last sound 
it played is still there, and plays over and over again (ut2003-bin hangs). I 
get the following warning from ALSA:

ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:398:(snd_pcm_hw_prepare) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE failed: 
Device or resource busy

I figured UT2003 and its sound system was probably rather weird, so I tried 
again with mpg231 and mplayer, which worked beautifully. Thanks! :)

Btw, this is a VT-8235 sound chip.
