I'd like to try out your patch with a couple of apps where sound is shoddy.
What's the correct GIT way to apply your patch (and still be able to
pull changes from the Wine tree)?

Apologies if it's a stupid question, but git --help seems to give a
plethora of commands and I've absolutely no idea which are meant for
common use and which are completely useless or will corrupt my local
tree...

I don't know. I simply reverse all my patches before doing a git
update. It doesn't seem able to cope with the idea of non-committed
patches at all. I guess there is probably some way to do it ... maybe
just committing it to your tree will work.

For now I'd just apply it and see if it works. It's a useful data
point even if you don't keep it. We need to get a picture of what
problems are due to faults/data corruptions inside DirectSound/WinMM
itself and what are to do with scheduling.
