wine users - Jun 2008 - Sound problem

When i play with wow under wine, is normal that any other sound cant work?
For example, if i launch wow and then i try to listen music, only the wow sound
worl, vice versa, if i am listening music and i launch wow, the game's sound
dont work...
is it possible to fix it?

It depends on your sound card.  If you're using some ancient POS or the
on-board AC97 sound, then yes, that's the "correct" behavior: 
Your
sound card is only able to handle one sound stream at a time.

Spend the $5 to get yourself an old SoundBlaster Live PCI and get rid of
whatever piece of shit sound card you're using now.
