--- Comment #81 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2008-12-13 17:05:07 --- Here are my some of my test results about the patch in bug 16416 comment 6, using Ubuntu Intrepid with wine-1.1.0 and pulseaudio. It indeed appears to fix sound issues in at least 2 games: (pa means PulseAudio; DL means a download is available; all apps are in AppDB) - "Luka(DL) und das geheimnisvolle Silberpferd" sounds perfect, despite using dsound (patch not needed). - "CrazyMachines Operation Brainstorm"(DL) sounds perfect (dito). - "Die Völker 2/The Nations" radio-like hissing noise mixin with pa, but not with direct sound emulation toggle in winecfg (cf. comment #79); perfect with patch - Sierra's Pharaoh stutters with pa, but not with emulation (+dsound logs in both cases); perfect with patch
One wonders how such a tiny patch about computing a 10ms fragment length can have that dramatic impact.
