I'm having a problem playing some of my steam games with choppy sound and very
slow responses.

Hardware is an intel i5 3750k overclocked to 4.2ghz, USB MS LifeChat headset.
OS is Mint 15 Olivia (64bit)

In particular the problem is manifested in GTA IV, Mass effect 2 and papers
please.  PP is hardly playable with the sound stuttering and the game it's self
grinding along as if I was playing on an amiga.

At first wine was using the pulseaudio driver so I got it to switch to the alsa
driver but they both have the same effect.

I stared Papers please with these debug options  :

WINEDEBUG="+tid,+mmdevapi,+winmm,+midi,+dsound,+dmusic,+mci,+oss,+alsa,+coreaudio"

And the output is attached.
