wine users - Nov 2011 - fixme:dinput:IDirectInputAImpl_QueryInterface

I was trying oddworlds stranger's wrath and the game crashes after:

fixme:dinput:IDirectInputAImpl_QueryInterface Unsupported interface:
{eb0d7dfa-1990-4f27-b4d6-edf2eec4a44c}
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x6133db
(thread 0039), starting debugger...

There is a bug for that: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26824

and the game actually works after winetricks dinput8.

However, the mouse does not function at all (not even buttons), which makes the
game unplayable which is a pity for one bug.

Any suggestions for workarounds?

Short of stubbing that interface - none.

You mean you believe stubbing is good enough or would it just be a go for a
lucky shot?

How come the direct input 8 docs from MS do not mention this interface?
