Summary: Running various games with OSS audio causes PCM device
                    to be muted
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.8
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: aardvark@krl.com
When running World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online using OSS audio,
the PCM device becomes muted on startup and shutdown of the program.  Audio can
be heard if the PCM device is unmuted, say, by alsamixer.
Possibly related, WoW does not exhibit this problem if run through aoss.  LotRO
doesn't get any audio if run through aoss.  LotRO doesn't have any audio in the
game if alsa is used (one of the promo splash screens does, however).  Neither
game gets audio under alsa (PCM is not muted).
This has occurred since at least wine 1.1 6 - 1.1.8.
Alsa worked with WoW at least as late as 1.1.0. LotRO worked with aoss at the
same time.
Linux 2.6.26, alsa v1.0.17.
This problem has been referred to in another bug, 15559.
