wine users - Aug 2009 - Weired Sound Issues on Opensuse 11.1 and ALSA (Wine 1.1.26)

Hello Everybody

I got some little issues with the sound. Logged in as my normal user - I've
the testsound (winecfg) on the internal device. I can't change it.

If I log in as root I've the testsound on my external USB speakers (the way
I would prefer it works).

I can't Imagine me - why there is a different between root and my normal
user.

Please find below some details.

The user lemmi belongs to the group "rt-pulse".

Within winecfg below the audio tab I don't see either any audio devices or I
see three times: dmix:0 doesn't matter with which user; like:


Code:
-  ALSA Driver
|  -  Wave Out Devices
|      |-
|      |-
|      |-
|  +  Wave In Devices



or:

Code:
-  ALSA Driver
|  -  Wave Out Devices
|      |-  dmix:0
|      |-  dmix:0
|      |-  dmix:0
|  +  Wave In Devices



Depends on the Soundcard configuration within Yast. Pulseaudio should be enabled
- in root as in normal user environement (need to proof this again)

There is no difference if I start winecfg with padsp or without. With OSS I can
choose the device - but the sound quality is very poor. For this reason I would
prefer alsa on the USB speakers.

What could be the reason it works as root but not as normal user?

Thanks in advance for any help.

EDIT:
As normal user within winecfg I see the 3 x times the device: dmix:0"

As root I see 3 times an empty value.

It's not as described above. Excuse my wrong explanation.
