--- Comment #25 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2010-10-26 07:31:31 CDT --- This issue about Lemmix is a strict duplicate of bug #22261. Likely, every bug about WAVE_Open dwRet = MMSYSERR_ALLOCATED is.
Lemmix first calls a waveOutOpen with 6 buffers for the background music, then uses PlaySound(SND_MEMORY|SND_ASYNC) to play sound effects. This second use fails for Wine's ALSA and OSS drivers because they only support a single output (dwUser is unused). It works with the Core Audio driver for MacOS (since Ken Thomases patches in October 2009). Perhaps it would work with the non-official PulseAudio driver.
David, Chip's Challenge is an entirely different issue. It plays music using MIDI. Please file a new bug report about it because switching music on makes my Ubuntu Intrepid system become very unresponsive after playing a few MIDI notes, and C'C hangs for a couple of seconds every so often (no refresh of the virtual window) - if you can reproduce that. Killing PulseAudio helped produce sound effects reliably, but playing music still causes too much trouble (using Timidity, FluidSynth not tested). Please don't file a bug report about MIDI without reading http://wiki.winehq.org/MIDI first (e.g. does MIDI work at all on your machine?)
