--- Comment #31 from Alexey Borzenkov snaury@gmail.com 2008-07-10 03:01:54 --- Ok, I found what was going on. Maarten's patches should not have been applied (reading comments I assumed they were the ones supposed to fix wine), only a patch from Tomas (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-February/050561.html, which is the one applied in Fedora), plus a patch from comment #9 (which fixes "ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element").
So the mistery solved. Just don't apply Maarten's patch.
