No need for a full-blown game, I use this great free 5.9MB demo to test audio on Wine: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=18359
Unbearable with regular Wine (kernel 2.6.13/ amd64, gentoo r5 patchset - can't test with later kernels, as there's a problem with the SCSI-subsystem as of 2.6.14), just dandy with Mikes patch and realtime-lsm...
This works 101% perfectly under WINE (CVS HEAD, no special patches), running as a user, kernel 2.4.31, wine-oss sound driver on top of ALSA 1.0.5a's OSS emulation.
Frame rate isn't brilliant (750MHz machine) but audio is spotless.
My sound hardware is: 0 [Live ]: EMU10K1 - Sound Blaster Live! Sound Blaster Live! (rev.7) at 0xd800, irq 12
FYI my audio experience with this setup has been flawless with wine for as long as I can remember, at least devoid of the stutters and noise that many people seem to experience.
Wow, I just tried the demo with wine's 'native' ALSA driver and the audio does break up a lot...
