Summary: Elder Scrolls: Oblivion slowdown and loss of background music since introduction of mpg123 Product: Wine Version: 1.1.29 Platform: PC URL: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=versi on&iId=7506 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msacm32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: vit.hrachovy@sandbox.cz

Also - missing winemp3.acm category for the bug, so assigning to msacm32. */
Up to wine 1.1.28 the game works normally, however, testing the newer two versions (1.1.29 and 1.1.30) produces the following:
1. Incredible game slowdown (like a slideshow). The game slows down to the point that it takes several attempts to register a key press.
2. Loss of background music (though ambient sounds come through) using ALSA output (same as the issue noted on the post below)
Using OSS output I get no sound, but the game is at normal speed. Using OSS and launching the game with "padsp wine" results in ambient sounds returning, but the slowdown is back. No setting I've tried so far has resulted in restoring the background music.
Under wine 1.1.28 sound works (ALSA) and the game runs at full speed.
Workaround: Take winemp3.acm.so from /usr/lib/wine on a 1.1.28 install, and put it in /usr/lib/wine on a 1.1.29 install.
