Bug ID: 44938
           Summary: xaudio2 bug: After upgrading from 3.4-1 to 3.5-1,
                    background music breaks and game freezes frequently.
                    Sound effects work fine.
           Product: Wine-staging
           Version: 3.5
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

The game I am playing is called Puyo Puyo Tetris. This is it:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/546050/Puyo_PuyoTetris
Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade to wine-staging 3.5-1
2. Run game
Expected results: Background music and sound effects play and game does not
freeze.
Actual results: Sound effects play but background music does not. Game will
freeze sometimes (when it freezes, it will not recover from having frozen).
I include the "freezing" bit because I think it is related. Whenever the game
freezes, the terminal that I launched the program from shows this line:
00a7:err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x8438a8
"../../../wine-staging/dlls/xaudio2_7/xaudio_dll.c: IXAudio2Impl.lock" wait
timed out in thread 00a7, blocked by 00b6, retrying (60 sec)
The addresses are unpredictable, of course. The second time it happened, I got
the same error but with different addresses.
0082:err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x34dc7270
"../../../wine-staging/dlls/xaudio2_7/xaudio_dll.c: XA2SourceImpl.lock" wait
timed out in thread 0082, blocked by 0092, retrying (60 sec)
The problem seems related to https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39517 ,
but  the proposed fix does not work for me. That is, I tried installing
Microsoft's xaudio implementation
winetricks --force xact
but the problem persists after doing this (and restarting the game).
Downgrading to wine-staging 3.4-1 makes the problem go away.
Other info: I am running Arch Linux (Linux computer 4.15.15-1-ARCH #1 SMP
PREEMPT Sat Mar 31 23:59:25 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux), Linux kernel 4.15.15-1.
All of the non-AUR packages on my system are up-to-date.
