Blobwars has no audio

The 1.17 deb from the Parallel Realities web site works.
http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/projects/blobWars.php

Try this:

cd /tmp ; wget -c http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/download/blobwars/blobwars-1.17-1.i386.deb; sudo aptitude purge blobwars blobwars-data && sudo dpkg -i blobwars-1.17-1.i386.deb

Is necessary to update the source package. It's obsolete.

The sound has been removed from Debian as it is non-free [1].
I'm changing the importance to "wishlist" as playing the game is possible without sound as well.

Gerfried Fuchs filled a bug report to upstream:
http://bugs.debian.org/590430

I received this e-mail reply of Guus Sliepen:

"The sound issue is caused by licensing issues, not by any problem in the source
code, see /usr/share/doc/blobwars/README.Debian. Since a large part of the
original sound and music lacks any copyright and author information, it is
deemed undistributable by Debian, not even in non-free. Replacement music has
been found and a version of blobwars that contains it might be released in a
few months, sound is next.

If you wish to help finding replacement sounds, that would be great. Hans de
Goede <email address hidden> from RedHat is also involved in getting
free-as-in-speech music and sound for the Parallel Realities games.
