--- Comment #12 from André Pirard A.Pirard@ulg.ac.be 2009-03-28 10:06:55 --- Yes it's still an issue.
Trying very very hard, I overcame my wine-dev installation problems, I installed about a CD size worth of development data and I ran many 4:30 compiles (I, a knowledgeable one, continue to think that regression should be more general-user accessible, maybe by providing the whole set of object modules so that only linking is necessary).
It turns out that I circled down to the ALSA patch below. I was recommended to cc: Maarten but as I was forbidden to report this by e-mail and as I didn't find the word Help in the page I'm using, may I ask you to do that?
This bugs affects at least 3 Windows programs I packaged to a .deb file. These programs are the style I-won't-use-Linux-if-I-miss-this-program. I did quite a number of such re-packaging. I think Wine is the portal to Linux for quite a number of people. Especially game addicts.
In the course of regression, these 3 programs were affected in varied and varying ways. No sound, rattle-like looping sound, to-be-killed or hanging the session.
Using, 1.1.17, the only way I found to get rid of such runaway Windows applications is to disable the ALSA driver. But as no other sound driver works, it's no fun. Particularly for games.
I welcome any further discussion or requests for tests. I deeply hope this problem will meet a solution. Wine Will Win.
André.
