Ok. This is not a shot in the dark by the way because you mentioned pipes and I had a quick look at the wine sound code. I committed some changes to the cpu scheduler in 2.6.17-rc1 that change the way it views sleeping on pipes...
Works _much_ better with 2.6.17-rc1(-g6246b612). Though I still sometimes hear 'spikes' or 'bursts' (short pulse, high frequency), don't know what produces them but it really hurts my ears, they usually appear when the CPU is under heavy load (when WoW loads world data from the harddrive or when I switch from/to the workspace where WoW runs, but here I suspect wine's window handling code to block somewhere for too long), but now much less now, in fact, it appeared only once/twice in 10 minutes playing which is really great.
You are my god, thanks for fixing this!
