[Bug 23265] New: Regression in directx, movies not playing in The Neverhood

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23265

Summary: Regression in directx, movies not playing in The
                    Neverhood
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc3
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

This bug was reported and resolved several versions back.
In The Neverhood (1.0), when audio is enabled videos will not play or play very
slowly and the game uses almost 100% of the CPU.
If audio is disabled or muted the game plays just fine as do videos.
I'll follow this up with a post linking to the old bug and later some logs etc.
(posting from cellular)

The Neverhood works best in Windows 95 mode and I am using the ALSA sound
module. It was designed for DirectX 3.0, which it automatically installs if it
cannot find a suitable version.

If movie playback worked in a previous Wine version, please perform a
regression test:

Pre-regression bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16961
The symptoms are awfully similar. It is also possible this bug may also affect
other old DirectX games, as was suspected with the original bug.
Still posting from cell, but on the way home. Will follow up with proper
regression test, logs, etc.

Works fine for me in HEAD, even with old .wine dir.

This is not fixed in wine 1.2-rc7, I'll try to find time to do regression
testing later.

Video working

It works like a charm, here is a proof.
Maybe something bad in your configuration?

Are you using hardware acceleration for sound? I've gotten the game to work
properly if I disable this feature, but it breaks/slows down other programs.

Yes.

Well, then you can use Wine bottles, you won't need to brak other programs.
Use wibom (http://wibom.sourceforge.net/), import your .wine directory and
clone it. Then you can configure one bottle to use hardware acceleration for
sound (and uninstall The Neverhood from it), and second bottle without hardware
acceleration (and uninstall other programs but The Neverhood).
