wine issues

I installed wine 9.39 via pacman.
I installed couple of games using wine.
When I try to configure wine or run a game I get the following output:

ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0
fixme:wave:ALSA_AddCaptureDevice Add support for DSCapture
ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 1
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:1
fixme:wave:ALSA_AddCaptureDevice Add support for DSCapture

I wouldn't complain if it's not affected gameplay. Now the sound is interrupting
and I get buffer underrun errors.
Why not use oss? Because in some games alsa is better.
But as far as I remember everything worked just fine in slackware.
Anyone get the same error?

I've gotten it before but the sound is fine when I got it. If you want oss, try changing it to oss under the audio tab in $winecfg.

Re: wine issues

thanks for reply.
I forgot to mention that with alsa with default config(no emulation) I get silence in games.
I installed cedega 6.0.2 and the sound is fine there(alsa and oss).
I also previously installed cvscedega.
So now I'm starting to think maybe it's some sort of conflict(between cvscedega and wine).

Re: wine issues

I lost sound with alsa in some of my games with wine 0.9.39. I think its due to all the development going on with alsa in wine recently.

Re: wine issues

btw in new version 0.9.40 some changes were made in alsa sound, the sound in games became a little better, but still no sound without emulation.
