--- Comment #25 from Plüss Roland roland@rptd.ch 2012-02-03 22:05:37 CST --- Guys are you actually "listening" or just trying to avoid having to fix bugs?!
As I pointed out already above openal is "NOT" compiled with pulseaudio or oss. Anything "but" wine does this "correct" and uses ALSA. So if "only" wine doesn't handle it correctly then why is it a bug in openal? If this would be the case "all" software would fail in the same way but it is "only" wine that fails.
I don't know what the problem is inside wine but there definitely is one otherwise it would have worked like anything else and I should know as I develop with OpenAL and "oh miracle" my app gets ALSA as the default when I ask for the default but Wine returns a device that doesn't even exist (as in not compiled in). See the openal-info I posted above. Wine returns OSS as default although openal doesn't enumerate OSS at all. If that is a bug in openal then I'm Santa Clause U_U
