Why can't you use Alsa? It works much better than OSS for me. Do you have the latest version (of Alsa)?
[RR] ALSA does not work with Wine at all. I must use OSS. I would prefer using ALSA although. For Ubuntu, the functioning ALSA audio HW driver is Aureal Vortex au8820 (alsa mixer). For Wine, I must select the OSS Sigmatel STAC9704 (OSS mixer).
Not sure if Ubuntu Hardy (the distro I'm using) is using the latest ALSA.
Why don't you run a regression test? http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting
[RR] Thanks for the link, but I don't have the time to do that now; I know it will help the Wine community. I also know when I remove 1.1.6 and replace w/ 1.1.5 Quake 2 does not mute the PCM channel. However, I do experience occasional game stuttering that coincides with the audio. :(
