First of all, the solution of my problem was, that as it seems, wine will only accept my etc/wine.conf. No matter what i put in $HOME/.winerc and even if it is the same crap as in etc/wine.conf, wine won't read it... As I said Im using SuSE 7.1 and I did somewhere encouter something about people who had the same problems... Anyway, what I want to know is if there is a statement with which I could tell wine not to emulate sound.... Since it emulates sound very slowly because my soundcard (Sounblaster 128) seems not to allow according to the wine error message direct access... So, is there a possibility how to skip sound though? Thank you. -- PAX ALTA by Szandor
