wine users - Aug 2008 - OSS Devices

I recently switched to OSS from alsa (loving it so far!), but one of the biggest
problems I had to work through before was getting my usb microphone to work with
Ventrilo.

Before, I used these registry options:

[Software\\Wine\\Alsa Driver]
"AutoScanCards"="N"
"DeviceCount"="2"
"DevicePCM1"="default"
"DevicePCM2"="mic"

This allowed me to manually select mic as my second input device and default as
my normal sound card's output device.

Now with OSS I don't see such an option in the registry, though it appears
to scan my cards alright, but does not work. In winecfg I see two devices in
wave out and wave in, and 6 aux devices. Under mixers I see both my sound cards
(AudigyLS and USB sound device). Other than under mixers, no device names are
given, and they are just blank white spots.

When in ventrilo and I guess at the correct device (first blank device for
output, second blank device for input) it does not work. No settings work, no
matter what I try.

Any advice, or should I keep alsa just for ventrilo? I don't want to do that
because it doesn't seem too far away from working.

I haven't seen your question so:
You can use the standard "AUDIODEV", "MIXERDEV" and
"MIDIDEV" environment variables to set dsp, mixer and sequencer (midi)
devices.
