I decided to run the winmm test in interactive mode with wineoss and winealsa to see if everything is ok. So first, to do that just do:
cd dlls/winmm/tests WINETEST_INTERACTIVE=1 ../../../tools/runtest -P wine -M winmm.dll -T ../../.. -p winmm_test.exe.so wave.c
That will most likely run it with wineoss as the sound driver, then edit ~/.wine/config so it looks like this:
[WinMM] ; Uncomment the "Drivers" line matching your sound setting.
;"Drivers" = "wineoss.drv" ; default for most common configurations ;"Drivers" = "winearts.drv" ; for KDE "Drivers" = "winealsa.drv" ; for ALSA users ;"Drivers" = "winejack.drv" ; for Jack sound server ;"Drivers" = "winenas.drv" ; for NAS sound system ;"Drivers" = "wineaudioio.drv" ; for Solaris machines ;"Drivers" = "" ; to disable sound
And you should get exactly the same result but with the winealsa driver. Actually, it may play a couple extra or a couple less tones depending on what Alsa's OSS emulation and Alsa-native report as their supported sound formats.
Anyway, each tone should play for 1 second. This is the case when using wineoss but when using winealsa they play for only 0.5 second! Does anyone have any insight into this?
While I was at it I also tested winearts and it played the tones at a rate of 1 per second as expected.
