Alsa-OSS and PulseAudio ? So Wine <=> OSS <=> ALSA (pulse) <=> PulseAudio <=> ALSA (hw) ? I prefer use padsp to take off the "ALSA (pulse)" part, even if I lose the "hardware control". But I agree : OSS backend is very good and I've played a long time with it. For JACK : "aoss jackd -d oss" works fine [Mr. Green] (Wine <=> JACK <=> OSS <=> ALSA (pulse) <=> PulseAudio <=> ALSA (hw)) For info : the new WinePulse 0.10 works fine on WaveOut (with a little (<1s) latency), and I'll read some doc to help Art in this development so I hope it will be easier to use directly WinePulse in a "'few" time.
