No sound in Pingus

I downloaded Pingus but alas, no sound. Tried disabling pulseaudio which worked for Outgun, but no luck.

Found this bug listing: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pingus/+bug/571536

1. I tried to install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio, said it was already at newest.
2. Installed libsdl1.2debian-alsa, which removed pulseaudio and ubuntu-desktop
3. Disabled pulseaudio (pingus sound worked!), enabled pulseaudio (no sound)
4. Installed libsdl1.2debian-all, which removed libsdl1.2debian-alsa
5. Disabled pulseaudio (pingus sound worked!), enabled pulseaudio (no sound)
