Summary: Age of Empires 3: initial playback of mp3 stutters Product: Wine Version: 1.3.8 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.agecommunity.com/all_downloads.aspx OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: quartz AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: austinenglish@gmail.com
Now that bug 8978 is fixed, sound works in wine-1.3.8-113-g9d9ce29 for the trial out of the box, if gstreamer support is enabled and codecs are installed. Groovy.
The menu background mp3 sounds fine, since the stutter only occurs once and is hard to notice. Instead, choose 'Learn to Play', then 'Try a Game' (or master the basics). A narrator will offer advice, and the first word of each mp3 stutters.
Terminal output attached.
Note that if you're using the full version, you'll hit bug 25368, so you'll need to unregister the native codec first.
