...plays a sound (a click), but no sound ever plays again
and
first click nothing is heard, 2nd click 2 noises are joined, 3rd one nothing again etc.
I just realized that these are symptoms of the bug that ALSA won't start prior to writing period_size frames. That makes it a duplicate of bug #28517 and bug #27087.
The other bugs are marked solved, because the early winmm->mmdevapi bridge in wine-1.3.25 used to write silence, eventually filling a full period for ALSA to start. That caused other trouble and is no more the case since-1.3.32, leading to new bug #29056 and bug #29299. IOW, the issue persists under the new ALSA driver.
