I had wine working beautifully with OSS4 under LMDE, and I just switched to fedora which uses WINE 1.3.33 (a much more current version than what's in debian repos) and there's no OSS support?! Every time I try to force OSS it says "no driver" under audio. I don't want pulseaudio or ALSA on my system and spotify was working beautifully with OSS4 before. I tried looking for alsa => OSS wrappers but it looks like they only go the other way around. OSS is NOT obsolete.. just the free version that's in everyone's repos. Is there any way around this, or is this a bug?
I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 using Open Sound System (OSS-v4.2-build2005) and it's working perfectly fine with the version you have and also newer ones. In fact OSS and ALSA are the only supported backends. As of Wine 1.3.28, Wine should select the correct backend for you. Maybe you have some old registry settings that are incompatible with new sound implementation. Then you should delete them as described in http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound
