--- Comment #7 from Derek Leach djleach89@hotmail.com 2011-10-31 17:33:52 CDT --- I can confirm this as well, as attempting to run LotRO with Wine 1.3.31 (with no other audio driver option than ALSA) results in an immediate failure to launch using PyLotRO. For me, using the Wine stable 1.2.3 using the ESound driver results in full audio and gameplay capabilities other than voice input. Using ALSA under 1.2.3 results in the same crash as 1.3.31 also. Intro, movies, and gameplay sound are all working using ESound. I will go back to Wine 1.2.3 and use ESound for the time being.
