--- Comment #62 from relgames@gmail.com 2011-11-21 03:15:15 CST --- Rob, removing pulseaudio is not a solution, because many Gnome programs depend on it (like sound applet, multimedia buttons, etc.)
And Wine 1.3.15 works just fine with pulseaudio. I will try to identify a regression when I have some free time...
