[Bug 18021] New: When starting The Lord of the Ring Online in additional X session, there is no sound.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18021

Summary: When starting The Lord of the Ring Online in additional
                    X session, there is no sound.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.19
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I normally run all games in additional X session (using "startx lotro.sh -- :1
-br -once" command), this is much "safer" for desktop settings and work I do
currently also much more reliable switching, but with LotRO there is no sound
in it, if it started like that, if I start LotRO in my current desktop, there
is a sound in LotRO.
I also can make LotRO to work with sound in additional X session if I start
there any "Window Manager" (twm for example) along side with LotRO.

What sound system is select in winecfg? Have you stopped/killed/removed all
sound servers (pulse, esd, etc)?

I tried with alsa and pulse audio(system wide and per-user setups), also used
pulse-oss start up with LD_PREFIX(analog of using padsp).
In all of the noted config's alsa was selected in winecfg, except when
pulse-oss was used oss of course.

I didn't got the question, if you asking if any of noted sound server is
running at the time I start the game then yes, they are running, and I can say
that if I start any WM there is starting a sound to come from game and if I
kill that WM there is again no sound.

And also I have noted that when I use alsa there is a sound at intro movie but
if I use pulse audio (I use it through /etc/asound.conf by using pcm.!default
and ctl.!default keys to forward sound to pulse) there is no sound at all
(other then if I start and WM).

All sound servers use sound devices in exclusive way. This prevents Wine from
using any sound devices.

Remove all sound servers and let Wine talk directly to ALSA.

I have only one question, if this is not related to wine then WHY all other
games do have sound in same situation and ONLY LotRO do not?

I can run simultaneously any number of audio clients and all of them are
working normal, even more, I can run simultaneously multiple games under wine
and they all have sound at the same time.

I wrote in my comment #1, I tried to use pusleaudio ONLY as last resort and
normaly I use only ALSA!

And you are incorrect, I have found the cause of problem, it's in the focus of
window.
If you start LotRO in an X session with no WM then LotRO think that it doesn't
have a focus on it's window and disable all sounds other that sounds in movies
and player conversations (LotRO is a first game where TeamSpeack 3 is tested),
this behaver was tested on Windows XP (the real one) and if I Alt+Tab, no sound
from game except of movies and player conversations.

And so it is clear that wine fails to correctly set active state for main 
window of LotRO.
