             Bug #: 28618
           Summary: BC Kings refuses to start without DirectSound hardware
                    acceleration
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.29
          Platform: x86
               URL: http://games.softpedia.com/get/Freeware-Games/BC-Kings

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2

The game fails to start in git (wine-1.3.29-245-g895b48e), showing the
following error message on startup:
'Insufficient hardware support:
16-bit secondary sound buffer is not supported.
Mono sound buffer is not supported'

This is after dsound hardware acceleration has been removed:
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/8258a5188cc36563809ac7495e49bc43ae4326e4

I must add that the game produces the same error message in Virtualbox (WinXP
guest) when directsound acceleration set to emulation. I let others with more
insight decide whether this bug report is valid or not, in the light of the
above fact.
However, there should be a way to start BC Kings in recent Wine, shouldn't it?
Thus severity -> enhancement.

Fedora 15 x86
Alsa 1.0.24
Pulseaudio is not running
