[Bug 35683] New: stereo sound L/R volumes extremely inaccurate

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35683

Bug ID: 35683
           Summary: stereo sound L/R volumes extremely inaccurate
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.12
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dsound
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

I noticed this in SoF3 first, then downloaded RightMark3DSound to confirm it.
In RightMark3DSound, position the sound box just one pixel to the left and you
get mostly only sound on the left, same for the right side. If you use it on a
windows machine the sound volumes on each channel are as expected (meaning
entirely different).

Best demonstrated in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKfzNjz0w7s

I only added the asound.conf lines shown at the end of the video, because I
thought it might be 5.1 support weirdness of wine. What they do is to mix the
designated >2 channel PCMs down to stereo sound.

uname -a:Linux C1MPAQ 3.12.9-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 31 10:22:54 CET 2014
x86_64 GNU/Linux
card: 08:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 03)
module: snd_emu10k1

Bare alsa, no pulseaudio or other funny stuff. Used empty wineprefix (32bit),
also tried installing MS direct X dlls: no difference.

More information:

Tried 5.1 sound test file and the output is normal and exactly identical with
mplayer running on 6 channels (because of my asound.conf, otherwise I just hear
rear) VLC player in wine on 'automatic' or directX or some other output all the
same. So that leaves only wine's direct sound implementation as the culprit.

Also just build wine-stable-1.6.2-1 (AUR archlinux package) from source and the
issue is identical.

There has been improvements in audio area since the last post, is this still an
issue in 1.7.34 or later?
