Alsa audio started working a couple of days ago with wine and then stopped working yesterday. Here is my experience. Pulseaudio cannot be removed any more. So I reinstalled the system and left it there. I compiled wine git and installed, and then installed DNS 10. Then I re-booted, ran killall pulseaudio in terminal, and started the program with winecfg's sound set to alsa. Everything worked fine. The sound driver came up in winecfg as "Creative CA0110-IBG" and in DNS as "default." Sound quality was pretty good. That was Friday. Now the same steps appear to produce no sound at all. Although I get no error messages, the program does not respond. If I don't kill pulseaudio, then I get dSnoop:default, which seems to start working and then freezes. I got something yet again when I tried to compile wine and install the program with pulseaudio killed. But nothing worked.
