[Bug 14027] New: No Mixers with X-Fi Linux Drivers

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14027

Summary: No Mixers with X-Fi Linux Drivers
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dsound
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

It's a bit of an odd one, but here we go:

No mixers are available when using Wine on Gentoo Linux with Wine 1.0 and
previous, but only while using Creative X-Fi drivers version 1.18.  Everything
else on the system works fine, but Wine doesn't like these drivers

Wine also works when I compile a different driver for use, such as emu10k1,
intelhd, or whatever.

Tell me what I need to do and I'll come up with the data so we can figure out
if the driver or Wine is missing something to detect these mixers.

System:
Kernel 2.6.24
Gentoo Linux 2008.0 Beta 2
Alsa built from modules in kernel
X-Fi drivers from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Creative_Labs_X-Fi

X-Fi Drivers piggyback on snd_usb drivers to input/output sound, so both must
be used to function.

Thanks!

The only terminal output:
jbdubbs@jbdubbspc ~ $ winecfg
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file
or directory
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file
or directory

Invalid, don't use bad sound drivers. From the gentoo wiki:

"Warning: You will most likely screw up some part of your system using these
drivers and configuring them the way this guide suggests. The drivers are still
unstable, there have been reports of crashing X, ALSA, and locking up the whole
computer. Using these drivers is like waving a red flag at a bull.....

Yeah, I wrote that wiki article......

I'm trying to figure out why, I'm well aware that the drivers are interesting. 
But what in particular is making them not work with Wine?
