wine users - Feb 2010 - wine causes echo (multiple playback)

Hallo all!

Since an unplanned reinstall of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karamic) I have unpleasant multiple
sound-playbacks (sounds a little like an echo) using wine. E.g. when playing WoW
(thanks guys that I can play it on Linux) I hear every Sound at least twice. I
tried various sound drivers via winecfg, using test sound I hear the sound
twice, and with ALSA winecfg even crashes. I also tried to use padsp and aoss,
no postive effect though, like a re-install didn't take a positive effect.
Does anyone have a clue what else I can do? If so, post any further information
you need...
Thanks in advance!!

Noone any idea, or is the solution that obvious but i can't see... :-/

On one of my systems, with an on-board sound chip, it will echo sounds if I have
selected a 5.1 speaker setup and will return to normal if I set it back to
stereo.

try switching to emulation under winecfg/audio
