--- Comment #1 from N. Andrew Walsh n.andrew.walsh@gmail.com 2009-10-18 16:42:20 --- Additional info: this is using the built-in dsound.dll; if I download a current dsound.dll file from my web repository of choice, and set it to "native," the game also has really terrible, poppy audio. So I'm fairly sure this is some problem with wine's dsound emulator. Acceleration is set to "Emulation" with winecfg.
