[Bug 23595] New: F.E.A.R. 1.0 Random deadlocks (probably audio related)

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23595

Summary: F.E.A.R. 1.0 Random deadlocks (probably audio related)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc7
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Created an attachment (id=29503)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=29503)
Full console output

Clean wine 1.2-rc7 prefix. The game installs and runs fine. I had to use nocd
for it to run. I played it with maxed out video parameters, and it was all
fine, until I reached the level Infiltration. In that level the game started
exhibiting deadlocks, at random positions of the player, sometimes sooner,
sometimes further in the level. From console output it looks like it's audio
related, because of the message:
Note: Illegal Audio-MPEG-Header 0x3cbe5446 at offset 16790.
After three of these I get:
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x472e344 "?" wait timed out in
thread 001d, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
The video stops refreshing and the current sound buffer contents are repeated
endlessly.

Did this work before 1.2-rc7? If you're on ubuntu, it may be bug 23594.

I am on Slackware 13.1
I do not know if it works with previous versions of Wine, it's the first time I
install F.E.A.R. on Wine. 
However, judging by the AppDB entry[1] at least one more person experienced
such problem, resolving it by manipulating the sound files of the game
(essentially replacing the problematic mp3-s with silent ones). See comment
"Sound related crashing" from Monday April 7th 2008, 7:38 made by rwolf. The
description lacks traces, but the behavior is pretty much the same, except that
he was using cedega.

I can confirm it. I'm using wine version 1.2rc4

Update:
For those that do not follow the FEAR message wall, here's the summary:
I asked rwolf to upload a specific mp3 file that causes the game to deadlock,
and here's what he answered:
"This file actually hasn't been necessary for a while. You only need to install
WMFADist.exe, which is found on the DVD. If you are still having problems with
sound after doing this, than that is an issue that should be pursued separate
from this old band-aid fix I created."

So the problem goes away with the installation of this application. (I didn't
have the time to test it myself though, but will do) I do not know if it is a
Wine bug then. Feel free to close it if you think it's not, and sorry for the
noise. OTOH if you feel there is something, that needs to be fixed in Wine,
feel comfortable to ask for specific traces etc.

Yes, the problem goes away when installing WMFADist.exe. I just tested it.

Please try in wine-1.3.36-404-g2db8613, or .37 when it's out.

No reply in 2 years, marking abandoned.

If this is still an issue in current (1.7.16 or newer) wine and you can provide
the needed information, feel free to reopen.
