no audio on eboard in 15.0-stable

eboard is not making sounds when moves are made, so I ran eboard with -log and -debug flags, made a move, let sjeng engine make response, and quit.

In this DEBUG.eboard file, I see SoundSlave::kill -- anybody know what may be causing this?

Searching the web, I saw a suggestion to add "Exec=padsp eboard" to the .desktop file.

So as root, I edited /usr/share/applications/eboard.desktop, and changed the line "Exec=eboard" to "Exec=padsp eboard", and then ran the command update-desktop-database, and then re-ran eboard as regular user, but still no audio.

However, if I run "padsp eboard" from cli, then audio works! How can I get the eboard to choose pulse-audio correctly when just typing eboard at cli?
