Pain sounds

[Matthew Arnold]

Is there a way to increase the volume of the pain sounds in UT2K4? Most 
of the sounds come through clearly except those. I really rely on that 
to let me know what's going on. I have a hard time hearing either my 
character's pain sounds or the damage sounds to vehicles.

I'm using the new OpenAL and SDL from Warp's site which definitely 
helped with some of the sounds (particularly the vehicle engine sounds), 
but not with pain. Here's what I have in my .openalrc:

(define devices '(alsa))
(define speaker-num 2)
(define alsa-out-device "hw:0,0")
(define alsa-in-device "hw:0,0")
(define native-use-select #t)

I have two speakers hooked up to a SoundBlaster Audigy using the ALSA 
drivers in the 2.6.3 kernel.

As an aside, where can I find documentation on the .openalrc file? I'm 
also trying to get VOIP working, but I've failed so far. I can hear 
myself via my mic, but nobody else can hear it. I've got the mic volume 
and mic capture turned up all the way in alsamixer.
