can't use metatrader with wine due to this alsa problem:

alsa plug-in [wine preloader] freeze wine and hide mouse on active windows: huge cpu activity on pulseaudio and gnome-setting-daemon.

Googling around, some users says to deselect alsa and choose esound instead, what i have done in winecfg, then kill pulseaudio.
Wine work better but is very slow with this sound choice. Choising esound or oss does not help much.

Removing/purging alsa/pulseaudio then reinstall them does not work, erasing .pulse neither, nothing special in logs.

This is test on Lucid with wine 1.1.36 that was well working 2 weeks ago before last alsa upgrades.
