Hi I tried Jul 23 cvs of wine and winex and tried with Nox and Half Life.
Both wine and winex work fine with the stock kernel sound drivers (es1371) but they do not work well with alsa with oss emulation. The sound gets played extremely fast in Half-Life like someone hit the fast-forward button. It is strange because the timing on the alsa oss-emulation (and commercial oss drivers) is better than the stock kernel drivers.
Winex does a lot of improvement in Half-Life and it is fully playable (the splash, the menu and everything). Nox works near perfect with wine but it does not work at all with winex.
