--- Comment #6 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2012-11-07 04:26:03 CST --- Created attachment 42426 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=42426 Fix mciavi player deadlock when starting to play.
Re-reading bug #14785, comment #2, I was enlightened. This is not an issue about windows messaging at all rather that a plain and simple dead-lock resulting from abuse of critical sections.
Please try out whether my patch helps with the other mciavi hangs that you know from comment #2.
