wine users - May 2011 - Re: Is it a wine bug if sound in a particular app doesn't work p

This is one of those nasty answers.

If you are running pulseaudio switching to emulation for directsound then it
works.  This is most likely not a bug in wine.  But a bug in pulseaudio provided
version of alsa interface.

If you not running pulseaudio so just alsa direct problem can be wine.  But due
to varation in quality of alsa drivers it might be an alsa driver bug.

Please not pasuspender is not what I mean by alsa direct.  pasuspender does not
enable dmix on cards without hardware mixing.   So emulation on those cards
would have to be used in case of pasuspender.

The fun of hardware its all shades of grey.

If it with raw alsa no pulseaudio it is a bug worth more investigation by wine
to make sure its not a coding error.

What do you know, removing pulseaudio from my system and using Alsa
directly means the problem no longer occurs (with hardware
acceleration sound in Another World would stop working after the intro
sequence). Thanks for the response.
