Summary: Freezes waiting for short sound-samples that don't
                    happen with sound off.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.3.
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.avernum.com/blades/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-directx-dsound
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Start the game after installation and click on "Load Saved Party" and after a
short freeze it works like expected. On ms-win this freeze is not there. This
happens on most other sound-ocassions in the game, too. When using alsa instead
of oss the problem gets worse (not the freeze time, but the sound buffer is
repeating, which it isn't with oss). Changing the nice value of the
wine-preloader process doesn't help either.

I observed another bug: Directly at the start of the game, during the company
logo, there is an adible "pip", that does not happen normaly or with oss, but
with alsa.

That game demo is a small (15MiB) download.
