When using the ALSA driver with Heroes of Might and Magic II, there are two
major sound problems, probably related:

- Audio/Video is not syncronized in films: the audio lags behind
- When playing, the audio lags behind in such a way that when a sound effect is
played, you hear the one that was supposed to be played previously.  For
example, the first sound effect in the game is replaced by a segment of the
intro film music.  Next time a sound effect is to be played it will be the one
previously replaced by the film music segment, and so on.

With the OSS driver everything works fine (and ALSA works fine for other
games).  The background MIDI music plays as it should.

Sound card: SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS, emu10k1 driver

There is a demo version of the game; although it does not have films it might
be helpful.

Created an attachment (id=11328)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=11328)
Output with +dsalsa,+alsa,+wave

Turns out I was a bit wrong about the previous sound being played thing.  What
really happens is that the sond is delayed, so if you, say, pick up a resource
and wait for 1-3 seconds, the sound is played.

The trace output does show several WODM_RESET messages being processed, and the
following snippet repeated several times

trace:wave:wodWrite (0, 0x17ed10, 00000020);
trace:wave:wodPlayer_ProcessMessages Received WINE_WM_HEADER 17ed10
