Ubuntu audio OpenAl

[BaronVonCrashedOften]

I am trying to install X-Plane10 on a very newish install of Ubuntu 15.1 (x64)

 

I have followed this guide:

http://www.x-plane.com/?article=linux-installation-walkthrough

 

but with the installer for X-Plane 10:

http://www.x-plane.com/update/installers10/X-Plane10InstallerLinux.zip

 

and set up the link using

ln -s /usr/lib32/libopenal.so.1 /usr/lib32/libopenal.so.0

 

The issue is that X-Plane will not start unless no sound is chosen (whereby it runs fine though quietly).

I have looked through the logs and also the Cycle Dump file and can find no reference to where X-Plane is looking.

There are several references to a 'mesa' library but that is apparently already in Ubuntu.

 

With a scenery heavy install approaching 50Gb (as I had on Windows) I find it crazy that X-Plane will not ship with its own required libraries of a few Mb if it is insistent of using older versions.
