           Summary: Alsa Mic-Capture horrendous recording Quality.
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dsound
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: kyle.leet at gmail.com


First off, you may be asking yourself, why is this marked as a blocker? This
sounds like a very minor issue. This is where I'll try to correct you, this
effects every single application that supports Audio input. Programs such as
Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Reason, KORE, FL Studio, Adobe Audition, even Skype.
Although audio recording does function, the quality of the said recording is
absolutely horrid, and is garbage by todays standards (in the 60s it may have
been considered acceptable). It sounds like you're an alien, in a wind tunnel
trying, to start your lawn mower. It's 2011, this has been an issue for well
over Six Years now. No one should have to use PulseAudio, OSS, or anything
else. Alsa is built into the Kernel, and Wine doesn't support it at all, this
to anyone should be disgusting. There's Bug 5159, and quite a few others
scattered all over the place. They do not represent the issue as a whole.

Further testing of Audio applications can't even begin to occur until this is
fixed. The results are always skewed. This is also what keeps on turning me,
among with many others that I know (couple dozen or so) off of Linux. We hate
*buntu, everyone else manages to do it properly and utilizes Alsa. Hopefully on
Bug day (or even prior to that) this finally gets resolved for good.

Thanks,
Kyle.
