------- Additional Comments From Speeddymon@gmail.com 2006-31-03 14:21 ------- That may be the case, but I don't think it would cause every application trying to play a sound to hang like that. The symptoms you describe are the same as when any program tries to access the sound hardware and it is already taken by a sound server, or by some other program.
If you can try this instead of the last test, we can know for sure if it is a problem with wine or with a sound server.
Take any sound player that is known to work well with wine (I think winamp does), and try to play 1 song. If winamp hangs (especially toward the first couple of seconds of the song), then there is a sound server running. Otherwise, it is a bug in wine..
The reason this is a good test is because there can only be 1 song playing at a time (unless you try to run multiple copies), and so the hardware cant be in use by any other sound (at least not from wine).
