[Bug 22031] New: Age Of Empires III regression: Sound is muted once the game is started

Summary: Age Of Empires III regression: Sound is muted once the
                    game is started
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.35
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dsound

(Affects versions from 1.1.35 and on)

Age Of Empires III's sound works great out of the game itself (read: playing).
All the sound effects, everything works. However, once the game starts, sound
goes completely mute and doesn't come back (ie: ending the game and going back
to the menu doesn't bring the sound back).

Regression testing made me believe that it was a dsound bug, so I found this
commit:

dsound: Clean up DSPROPERTY_Description1.

As to 'why' it happens, I have no clue, but I may try to help debugging it. In
advance, let me warn you that I am quite busy nowadays and won't have any
'free' time for the next 3-4 weeks. After that, I'll be more available.
> From what I saw, no error messages were displayed, and I didn't see any output

difference between 1.1.35 and 1.1.40 (except for some unrelated language
stuff). Again, I can dig it up when I have more free-time...

I should also note that I tested this with all of Age Of Empires' extensions,
though I doubt any significant sound-subsystem changes were made to their
sources.
