[Bug 18009] New: Tlknow32.exe hangs in startup screen [REGRESSION]

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18009

Summary: Tlknow32.exe hangs in startup screen [REGRESSION]
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.19
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Screenshot when hung

The "Talk Now! Arabic" CD, published by Transparent Language, used to work
pretty well on Wine.  Now (just tested on 1.1.19, but it's been broken for a
few releases) the program loads to the point where it gives an audio greeting
and shows the graphic behind the user login screen, but then freezes.  No
further text appears,  an the program is unresponsive; even the "close window"
action doesn't work. (The window does redraw itself properly if I cover and
then uncover it).

One other clue is that the window-decorations are drawn much larger than the
contents (see attached screenshot).

When you filled in this bug report, you were asked to run a regression test and
include the results.  Where are they?

Regression test results so far: works with 1.0, does not work with 1.1.13.

Please dont' change the original reported version.

We need you to do regression testing with git using the instructions provided
to narrow it down to a single commit.

winealsa.drv: Correct the period_time value for pulseaudio.

This seems like a reasonable cause for the bug,  because the program hangs
where it should transition from one sound clip to another.

I've emailed him privately.

I have a bugzilla account, it's just that gmail appears to have switched to a
googlemail.com prefix that is being picked up by git.

There were some fixes that went in after this commit, which did regress sound.
IIRC, it was Maarten that committed them. Bug 16607 has more information.

Some other things:

What distribution/version are you running (e.g. Ubuntu 8.10)?

Do you have pulseaudio? Which version? Running "pulseaudio --version" should do
that.

Debian 4.0 "Etch".

No, not currently installed; although I should be able to install  0.9.5-5etch1
easily.

PulseAudio has been known to cause sound issues with Wine (particularly on
Ubuntu).

I am way out of my depth here, and the last time I tried fixing sound
regressions it turned into a major headache.

Whether or not you'll have problems with pulseaudio
depends strongly on your hardware and a bit on what
your distro did with it.
I've been having no major problems with it for several
versions (of both pulseaudio and wine), however I'm not
using anything where timing is critical, so I can't be sure
if I really don't have problems or I simply failed to notice them.
pulseaudio 0.9.15 and wine 1.1.19 still seem to work correctly
for me.

Hi David,

Using latest git, can you do:

git diff 3995627de20^ dlls/winealsa.drv | patch -Rp1
cd dlls/winealsa.drv
make

then retest?

I tested with git from April 15th and also from this morning. That fixes it
with either one.

After clarifying comment 11 by email with David, he says

So, this looks like a duplicate of bug 15030

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.33 or newer) wine?

I just tested with Wine 1.1.32,  and this bug does not appear.

(I tested on an Ubuntu Intrepid system with significantly different hardware
than what I found the bug on; that system is currently nonfunctional due to a
hardware failure.)
