2d game that tests sound accuracy

The game that I have attached is a very good test for sound accuracy.
In Windows XP, while moving a ball, the sounds are:
blimp-blimp-blimp-blimp-blimp-blimp-blimp-blimp-blimp-blimp-blimp-blimp
In Wine, while mooving a ball, the sounds are:
blimp-_____-blimp-blimp-_____-blimp-blimp-blimp-_____-_____-blimp-blimp
Try the game :) and see for yourself.
The most annoying part is when the score explosion is not heard 4 of 10 times.
My mom wants to play this game with correct sound in Wine :( .
The game is freeware unlimited so don't worry about copyrights.
You have my full support in using it for your sound tests.
It overloads Win98 sound a bit. But not as bad as in Wine .
It works correctly in WinXP.
The trick is that this game was compiled with this problem. Better for our
tests.
Why should it work in Windows and not work in Wine ? The problem is the
solution.
Fix it. Wine of course, not the game.

Not AppDB bug. What Wine version? What distro?

Actually starting way up from 0.9.25 up to 1.00 rc4 the problem is the same.

I am using Debian Etch r3 and I did a dependency install + ./tools/wineinstall
With or without nvidia firmware driver, same thing. oss or alsa, still same
thing.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.10 or newer) wine?

I will tell you when it is released as stable and available in ubuntu or debian
repositories. In the mean time, you can get the game that demonstrates this bug
at www.iuga.go.ro/bile.exe

Still an issue with wine-1.1.26. Some of sounds get lost, some just happen too
late. Tried changing wine sound settings and ingame settings, but nothing
helped.

I have tested Windows 98, Windows XP SP2, Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 with:
http://www.iuga.go.ro/bile.exe
The sonds are sluggish in Windows 98 and Windows 7.
The sounds are perfect in Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3.
My personal opinion is that Windows XP has the best sound of all existing
operating systems (Mac not included).

I propose some kind of sound buffer in wine, able to compose multiple sounds,
before it is send to linux sound.

This is still an issue in git for me (1.3.5). This line appears in the console
:

Please don't change an originally reported Wine version.

Patch to ignore SND_NOWAIT

Admins, please set the component to winmm

This app uses PlaySound() with flags 00002005
= SND_NOWAIT SND_MEMORY SND_ASYNC

001b:trace:winmm:MULTIMEDIA_PlaySound pszSound='0x50ec98' hmod=(nil)
fdwSound=00002005
001b:trace:winmm:MULTIMEDIA_PlaySound pszSound='0x50ec98' hmod=(nil)
fdwSound=00002005
clearly shows the former call is immediately returned.

I once made a note to myself that says "patch PlaySound to ignore SND_NOWAIT;
SND_NOSTOP does not abort (fixme: sounds of the current process only) and
returns FALSE." but did not write it yet because it needs validation on several
versions of MS-Windows (w95/98/2k/xp etc.). I tested it on one system only. 
IIRC I read somewhere that the behaviour changed along the way.  That alone may
explain the differences you observe.

With SND_NOSTOP, "the function immediately returns FALSE without playing the
requested sound", according to MSDN
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms712879.aspx.  Currently Wine equates
SND_NOWAIT and SND_NOSTOP.  Therefore, if the app is busy playing a
blimp, it will not abort it to play an explosion.

The app never uses the PlaySound(NULL,0,SND_NODEFAULT) pattern that Larry
Osterman recommends in his blog
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/larryosterman/archive/2008/09/15/why-call-playsound-...
He further explained that "the current implementation [he wrote this in 2009]
... simply queues the request...  So if you have a situation where you call
PlaySound many times in succession, ... all the calls to PlaySound pile up
behind each other."
I have no idea whether win9x queued.  Wine does not queue. 
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/larryosterman/archive/2009/02/19/playsound-xxx-snd-m...
gives a good reason not to queue.
> err:alsa:wine_snd_pcm_recover underrun occurred

Can be ignored for now.  Same in the MCI.
The built-in players do not handle short sounds well.
> The game is freeware unlimited so don't worry about copyrights.

The .hlp file says "Shareware" which is quite the opposite.
Why don't you play Gnome's "5 in a row" on Linux?

Fixed by commit 0a81f12ce10f88a06e1a95523c1e4da7587fa3e9
to appear in wine-1.3.12.  PlaySound indeed ignores SND_NOWAIT.

Admins, please mark as resolved & fixed.
