wine users - Jun 2008 - difference between OSS and ALSA when playing CS:S...why?

Hey,

can someone explain me why CS:S is slower when I use ALSA instead of OSS? (with
ALSA I've ca. 20-40 fps, with OSS I've 60-120 fps)
But why?

probably some leak in wine's alsa driver
since the OSS you have on your box is actually just an
OSS Wrapper for ALSA.

because one driver is more suitable for the application than the other

all the sound drivers are different. its one of the 'issues' with wine.

Are you using pulseaudio's wrappers when running Wine? What are the settings
on winecfg page?
