Wine with pulseaudio problem

scheme · 2010-03-08 22:52:09

I want to have wine on my Arch (for Spotify, games etc.). I have a x86_64 system, I've been reading the wine articles and wine with pulseaudio articles but I can't seem to find out what to do with this. I'm relatively new to Arch but not to Linux.

I've been trying to install wine-pulse for awhile now but the installation ends with:

checking package integrity...
(8/8) checking for file conflicts                   [##########################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
esound: /usr/bin/esd exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I don't find anything googling the esound error and I've no idea how to approach this problem.
Any feedback towards the issue would be nice. A workaround, a solution or "you can't do this" are all welcome.

Remove the file with:

 $ sudo rm -r /usr/bin/esd

Then try again.

Just curious: why not just alsa??

I renamed the /usr/bin/esd file (I have no idea why it had been there in the first place so I had somehow avoided the obvious solution) and tried to build wine-pulse_64, it failed with something like:

winemenubuilder.c:(.text+0x9ff): undefined reference to `png_set_longjmp_fn'

Similiar to this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=91565

I have both of the libpng versions installed. Do I have to link them to the package somehow and try again?

I thought it'd be fun to play around with the network support of pulseaudio. Also before Arch I didn't have much problems with it, I like the feel and I somehow know where everything is.. I never tried dmix (I've understood I can have multiple playback sources with it, correct me if I'm wrong), before PA I couldn't have more than one audio source to output. If pulseaudio keeps being such a pain it has been I will consider "just alsa", for I don't have a real use for the network support.
