             Bug #: 29737
           Summary: Bad sound output from Windows Media Player 10
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.37
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: andrej at podzimek.org
    Classification: Unclassified


When playing a standard DRM-protected movie in DVD quality with 5.1 audio in
Wine, downmixing to stereo (on a laptop where both ALSA and PulseAudio know
that no extra outputs are available) does not work properly.

What I hear (just a wild guess):
     Left channel: Subwoofer
     Right channel: Right Middle or Right Rear speaker

Sound works just fine for movies that only have a standard stereo soundtrack. I
tried to click through the whole WMP 10 settings and also through some codec
settings, but did not find anything helpful there.

Also tried three different audio settings in Wine:
Standard ALSA: Works and plays through PulseAudio (as well as without it), but
has the issue reported above.
ESD: Thought it might cooperate with PulseAudio directly, but WMP crashes on an
unhandled page fault in this case.
OSS: WMP gets stuck when opening the file, no sound produced, no matter if run
with padsp or not.
