First of all recomment the AudioDevice line. Try to run it from your TS directory in a terminal.
See if it says for example something like: "error: oss.c:179 cannot open /dev/dsp". If it says that you have to do "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" (may want to add that to /etc/rc.local or whatever it is that Ubuntu uses). If it doesn't say that try to run TS from your home directory (you'll have to copy some cars and tracks there probably). Post the two output.txts (from the TS directory and home) here (unless they're the same in which case one is enough).

No... When you run it in terminal (in the TS directory) does it say anything like "error: oss.c:179 cannot open /dev/dsp"? What does lsmod|grep snd_pcm_oss say? Open whatever general sound mixer/volume control unit (not alsamixer or anything) and make sure your OSS device has some volume.

It would be nice to be able to force TS to use PulseAudio somehow... I can do it by running it from inside my home directory (and my TS folder is ~/sliders/).

Try starting with ../(TS directory)/sliders.linux from your home or wherever (I highly recommend the folder that contains your TS directory as you may have to move cars and tracks there). Make sure one of your audio outputs says OSS (pic) and that it isn't muted.
