AFAIK, you needn't recompile it. The alsa-oss packages provides a means to "emulate" an oss environment so that sound goes through alsa. It may have additional components, but by far the most used with Wine should be aoss. aoss sets up everything so that the application that you want to use (passed as an argument) believes it is in an OSS environment. This tricks the app and manages to redirect sound to ALSA devices. Thus, if you have a mixer in ALSA (pulseaudio behind / dmix / blablaBANANA ), and no mixer with OSS, you can mix sound. This is a must-have for steam games. So, after installing that package, you should be able to set the OSS driver in winecfg and run your apps like this: aoss wine <app> A similar utility is padsp, but, AFAIK, it lacks more important stuff and it is only used with Pulseaudio, Cheers, Jorl17
