--- Comment #15 from Susan Cragin susancragin@earthlink.net 2011-09-19 08:54:39 CDT --- Created an attachment (id=36462) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=36462) same as above without pulseaudio
I ran the same test as above, but first disabled pulse by editing /etc/pulse/client.conf to set autospawn to "no" and then killall pulseaudio Results look pretty similar.
