Summary: Blades of Exile/OpenBOE crashes when playing certain sounds if ALSA driver is used Product: Wine Version: 1.1.2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dlev89@gmail.com
If Wine's ALSA sound driver is used, the Spiderweb Software game Blades of Exile (http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/blades/winBOE.html) or the open source version (http://info.wsisiz.edu.pl/~kowalsg0/) will freeze when certain sounds are played, e.g. the sounds played on a teleport or when a character fires a spell. No error message appears if the game is run from a terminal; it simply freezes, and must be killed.
This never happens when OSS is used; however, ALSA is desirable, as OSS is extremely slow for this game.
