openal32 now defaults to use the Windows-native version, so I suspect this bug is fixed.
We have the staged patch in Debian since 1.7.54. But looking at this:
commit 7d6c6025923c039ac6a2458ca466290621238c36 Author: Andrew Eikum aeikum@codeweavers.com Date: Fri Oct 2 09:02:56 2015 -0500
openal32: Prefer native version.
Because openal contexts are global per-process, applications that use openal will conflict with Wine DLLs that use openal like xaudio2_7 now does. Windows does not ship an openal32, so all applications that use openal will ship their own copy of it. According to Chris Robinson, Windows native openal32 works fine in Wine, so we should just use that to avoid the problem.
... I wonder why this patch is still carried in staging at all? If it is still useful, shouldn't it be applied to main Wine?
