Use of OSS no longer works in Wine + padsp

[Daniel Farina]

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

On Ubuntu 10.10 I have lost the ability to correctly use sound in Valve Source-based games. ALSA works most of the time, but I have been using OSS via wincfg + padsp because it never seems to drop audio as ALSA mode does.

This worked fine for some time, but definitely no longer works in 10.10. It reproduces with both wine 1.2 and 1.3. There are some telling traces in the terminal that have lead me to file this under pulseaudio. The application being started does not appear to crash, but spins at 100% CPU.

if they had removed oss emulation, they should also remove padsp and OSS driver in winecfg
