      Hi, is anybody able to get sound running in Beebem?

      Sound works fine if it's run through the X desktop, but it doesn't seem to work when launched through emulationstation.

      Occasionally I can get it to emit a split second of buffered sound by changing the sample rate in the menu but there doesn't seem to be a way to repeat this process, it appears random. Changing the various settings doesn't appear to do much.

      I've tried changing the ownership of beebem between root and Pi but that doesn't seem to help.

      No other emulators running through emulationstation have sound issues. Funnily enough, sound did work correctly on a previous version of retropie but I can't remember which (maybe 2.6 or 3.2)

      Anyone have any better luck? I've tried the build on the haprpi blog and the build in the experimental emulators in zerojay's repo.

              Official Info to be tested:
              Sound Menu:

              Sound On/Off - Switch sound on or off.

              Sound Chip - Switches the sound chip on or off. Useful when you want
              to hear the cassette sounds.

              Sound Effects - Switches on the sound of the cassette motor and the
              sound of tape software loading.

              44.1 kHz - Sets the sound sample rate. The higher it is the better
              22.05 kHz the sound quality but the slower BeebEm runs.
              11.025 kHz

              Full Volume - Set the sound volume.
              High Volume
              Medium Volume
              Low Volume

              Use Primary Buffer - Grabs exclusive use of your sound card so any other
              applications playing music will stop. May make BeebEm
              run faster.

              Part Samples - Smooths sound sampling. Using part samples usually
              sounds better.
