Hi,
Testhq.org results from 17th of November about winmm:mci were striking: All machines producing a timeout had "f11" in their name. (Another day, some f11 machines passed the tests). http://test.winehq.org/data/4990ca0ea342bd115a9a46047b3b2de599cb916e/index_W...
Please test whether the following patch correlates with hanging machines. Not checking waveoutwrite's return code for sure has the potential to hang the play loop, waiting for a buffer to come back that was never sent out in case of error.
But then, why did waveOutWrite fail? That's what I'd like you to investigate. Why Fedora 11?
Below patch only adds error reporting to the mciplay loop. Feel free to add the same to the mcirecord loop.

A future patch will abort the loop in case of error. However so far, when creating situations that hung on my (non-Fedora) machine (cf. bug #20664), the above ERR message was never triggered. So the cause of random mci time-out on test.winehq may as well lay elsewhere.
Thanks for your help, Jörg Höhle
