--- Comment #5 from Michael Stefaniuc mstefani@redhat.com 2012-07-23 02:49:55 CDT --- As Andrew explained the odd failure to me: 0x8889000a is AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_IN_USE. PA enumerates the HW device too but then goes to grab it for a short time and winealsa.drv cannot open it. When something else is playing PA won't enumerate the HW device as available thus winealsa.drv won't try to open it.
