[Bug 26878] New: No sound in Sim City 3000 Unlimited

Summary: No sound in Sim City 3000 Unlimited
           Product: Wine

          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dsound
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

Wine 1.3.18 console output [8MB]

Clicking on an option in the first screen once Sim City 3000 Unlimited has
loaded plays a sound (a click), but no sound ever plays again.

Nothing relevant in console.

Native dsound allows all sounds (but not music) to play correctly.

Is this a regression?  My notes from 1.3.16 time say:
 + Music plays with audio -> HW emulation in winecfg.
 - Native dsound.dll is still better, e.g. main menu -> exit ->
   really? -> No: first click nothing is heard, 2nd click 2 noises are
   joined, 3rd one nothing again etc.
   With native dsound, one sound is heard for each and every click.

I own Simcity 3000 *non* unlimited, with 120MB on CD-ROM in Sound\Music*.XA
Those are not installed to HD.

You should try out directmusic etc. only when the logs show that it is accessed
by the app.  Instead, SimCity 3000 uses DSound to mix music & sound. 
Therefore, unless 'Unlimited' is different, I believe you should mark bug
#26879 as a duplicate of this one.

Emulation allows the music to play, and the sound to work sometimes, dsound
override is preferred.

Other bug is invalid.

and

I just realized that these are symptoms of the bug that ALSA won't start prior
to writing period_size frames. That makes it a duplicate of bug #28517 and bug
#27087.

The other bugs are marked solved, because the early winmm->mmdevapi bridge in
wine-1.3.25 used to write silence, eventually filling a full period for ALSA to
start. That caused other trouble and is no more the case since-1.3.32, leading
to new bug #29056 and bug #29299. IOW, the issue persists under the new ALSA
driver.

This is fixed with mmdevapi too, presumably since the lead-in patch.
Clear music and one sound for every menu -> exit -> really -> no click in
1.4-rc4 with dmix/ALSA in Ubuntu Intrepid.  Native dsound works too.
With PulseAudio, the music contains some noise.
