--- Comment #18 from Andrew Eikum aeikum@codeweavers.com --- A patch like Andre's from comment 14 seems reasonable. Can someone test it?
(In reply to Adrien Fernandes from comment #17)
By the way, I quickly come to speak about NetBSD audio. NetBSD sound server will be locked as soon as one source is using it. For example, if I use VLC to watch a video, my audio device will be busy so I won't have sound anymore on other applications until I free the device by closing VLC. Is it a problem for Wine ?
Depending on the application, it can be a problem. Some applications expect to be able to open the same device twice and will fail or be silent if it can't. However, many applications only use one audio device, so it may not be a problem for whatever applications you use.
I'd recommend finding a way around this limitation. For example, pulseaudio might be supported on your platform.
