So that tells me that the change took place outside the Ubuntu patches. Well, this may be a pulseaudio problem after all. It may not be a wine problem. For the first time this morning, I tried running audacity -- the linux version. (My system has pulseaudio purged.) Audacity behaves the same way under Linux it does under wine, freezing when I stop and re-start the record function. I filed ubuntu bug 369762.

Removing the pulse packages and adding my user to the audio group seems to work fine*, with plain ALSA goodness. *By work fine, I mean I can rock out to Pandora while playing Morrowind, and winetest is again passing for me. -- -Austin

From the bug, it's hard to tell. But here's what I think. I think that the kernel made changes recently that changed how sound relates to the kernel, and tied pulseaudio closer to the kernel (hence those error messages I got under 2.6.28-11, which kernel was acknowledged to be buggy the day it came out). Some of the bugs they either backed out or corrected with 2.6.28-12. It would be interesting to see if they can get steam running with that kernel. If you are working with the steam-bug people ask them to add the below kernel, purge pulseaudio, and test with alsa only. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~dtchen/test-kernels/ Of course, they need headers, image & restricted modules.
