For me, this is not a wine+alsa issue, this is an alsa and/or pulseaudio issue.

The only sound I get when using alsa (in Firefox, wine or the Ubuntu startup) is a low background hiss and the occasional hum. With OSS, I get sound as normal.

$ lspci

I think that we have two issues: (1) the wine-bugs #15559 issue, with stuttering/crackling sound, and (2) no sound except for a hissing sound.

Also of note, I also experienced a hang in the alsa driver when shutting down to reboot my machine after the update that broke alsa. So here's a question: did this corrupt one of the alsa setting files (e.g. the volume settings) and as a result is causing the hissing?
