wine users - Apr 2008 - Counter Strike: Source. Crashes upon joining game.

Hi. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and wine 0.9.60.

I have got loads of steam apps to run including team fortress 2. However, when I
join a game in Counter Strike: Source, as soon as I get to the team select, it
freezes up, with the gunshot sounds repeating.

It then simply closes. 

I looked on appdb and the main causes are alsa sound, and to make sure only alsa
sound is selected in winecfg. I also disabled in game community in steam.

Here is what I get when running steam in terminal and then CounterStrike :
Source crashing when I join a game.

Thanks for any help!

Did you kill pulseaudio? It condflicts with most programs using ALSA/OSS. Wine
is one of those programs.

I will try this when I get home.
Do you know if Wine will ever support pulseaudio?
I found a post on the Ubuntu website about workarounds for applications which
conflict with pulseaudio and Wine is one of them.

Apparently the trick is to set sound to OSS and run Wine with "padsp"
so that sound is routed through pulseaudio.
Anyway I will try this later and let you know
Thanks
