[Bug 9276] New: World of Warcraft loses sound and refuses to relinquish focus after being alt+tabbed

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9276

Summary: World of Warcraft loses sound and refuses to relinquish
                    focus after being alt+tabbed
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.43.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I've tried seting winecfg to use ALSA alone, and tried it with using OSS (using
ALSA-OSS emulation).

1. When using ALSA, sound works fine, but when I alt+tab out, sound is lost.
And when I alt+tab out of World of Warcraft, it refuses to give up the focus
and let me switch to another window.

2. When using OSS, sound doesn't work at all.

3. When using wine 0.9.41, WoW works perfectly, and can alt+tab perfectly fine

I try and Alt+Tab and switch from WoW to another application, but WoW hijacks
my window manager and switches back to WoW.

I try and Ctrl+Alt+Right or Ctrl+Alt+Left to switch workspaces, but WoW hijacks
my window manager and switches back to WoW.

I'm using Ubuntu Linux 7.04 and OpenBox to run WoW. Since my GNOME is set up
with Desktop Effects (Compiz/Beryl/eyecandy) WoW's performance suffers a little
in GNOME.

When using a previous version of Wine 0.9.41, sound works flawlessly and I can
switch between WoW and a full screen web browser running on a second workspace
in a split second. When I switch back to WoW, it responds within a split second
... I'm mightily impressed!

I'm having the same issue after upgrading to 0.9.43 from 0.9.39.

I'm using gentoo and a very basic WM called evilwm.

I downgraded to 0.9.42 and had the same issue, down to 0.9.41 and it is working
as normal again.

OK, now trying the latest Wine 0.9.44

1. Sound works flawlessly, when configured to use OSS. I'm not using the aoss
wrapper though.

2. Start up and play seems to work fine.

3. I cannot exit the program from within wine and I have to manually kill the
process off from within the terminal I used to start the program.

Forgot to add:

I had to change WoW to "Use Windowed Mode" and "Maximised".
It now behaves as expected - it gives up the focus and lets me switch to
another window.

Not sure what to do about WoW not closing from within the client though.

The last few messages before I have to Control+C the client are:

fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 113
(SPI_SETMOUSESPEED)
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 113

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f250,0x00000000), stub!
