Connecting Wine to JACK

Okay. I've been trying the entire day to get sound working in Wine. I've tried everything. Basically, assume that if there's anything that can screw up an audio configuration, it's been done I'm very lucky to still be able to play music...

But at one point, I was onto something, using JACK. The catch is, I don't know how. With JACK as the selected option, I was able to get the sound test to work in winecfg once. But right when the test sound ended, it gave me a possibly-harmless buffer underrun warning - which I foolishly tried to fix. (How? Your guess is at least as good as mine.)

Now, it doesn't work anymore. I run JACK, either directly with jackd or through QjackCtl, with the same settings as originally (I've never deviated from the settings described here), but Wine gives me exactly the same error as when JACK isn't running at all:

err:wave:JACK_OpenWaveOutDevice jack server not running?
err:wave:wodOpen JACK_OpenWaveOutDevice(0) failed

JACK is the only success I've had out of everything I've tried - which, seriously, is everything, so I'd like to have it working again.

I have both jack and lib32-jack packages installed; no clue which one Wine is looking for, no clue which one is running. I also have the normal and 32-bit versions of just about any other sound-related package installed. Wine is bin32-wine. 64-bit ArchLinux.

Re: Connecting Wine to JACK

I'm just taking a guess here, but someone on ubuntuforums solved this issue by making a symbolic link out of /usr/lib/jack-0.100.0.so.0 to /usr/lib/libjack.so, but since we probably don't have 0.100.0, we surely (at least me, fully updated) have libjack.so.0.0.28; so try to do a sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libjack.so.0.0.28 /usr/lib/libjack.so. I think I had to do that once I installed Arch.

Also, make sure your periods and frames in qjackctl are not too low.

Re: Connecting Wine to JACK

It seems /usr/lib/libjack.so already comes symlinked to /usr/lib/libjack.so.0.0.28. Unless I did it myself, which is plausible.

I don't know a lot about setting up the periods and such. But, the settings I use did work once before (and work for any normal software that wants to use JACK), so I'm assuming they can't be an issue.
