I downloaded Nyquist, and am having trouble playing sounds from it.

If I run it normally, I get:

Nyquist -- A Language for Sound Synthesis and Composition
    Copyright (c) 1991,1992,1995 by Roger B. Dannenberg
    Version 2.29

> (play (osc 60))
Saving sound file to ./eric-temp.wav
error: snd_save -- could not open audio output
>

If I wrap it by running padsp ny, the sound plays fine for about half a second, and then I get garbage fed to my speakers.

Any solutions?
