I'm trying to implement this patch: http://wiki.winehq.org/Implement_SetThreadPriority by Mike Hearn which will enable wine to work without all the nasty audio glitches when using alsa. However hunk 1 fails on configure.ac as the patch hasn't been updated to latest wine.
Can anyone help me get this baby compiled as i want to play my games without the nasty audio glitches and don't care if i have to be root/sudo/whatever.
I have a stripped down version of the patch that doesn't require any configure changes and should apply fine to the latest wine. It's designed for systems that have RLIMIT_RTPRIO (Linux kernel 2.6.13 and up) and works as long as the user can set real-time priority for processes (an updated/modified PAM can set such permissions for users; realtime-lsm may work too, but I don't have any experience with it). Running as root/suid with this is NOT recommended as it makes no provisions for it.. it doesn't attempt to drop permissions, so whatever you run Wine as, the whole program will have the same permissions.
