--- Comment #8 from Pekka Paalanen pq@iki.fi 2013-06-09 14:13:40 CDT --- This is not an issue for me anymore, the report can be closed.
I am using wine 1.2.3 to play PWI, and wine 1.5.30 to run PWI's updater, and I have not seen the sound problems for years. Although, I have not had the machine I filed this bug from for years, either.
