Guys, i maybe found a solution to resolv this problem. Before, small
explainations :

1- As it's explain on the AppDB page for "Beyond Good and Evil", there are
intermittent audio looping when the "dsound" dll from Wine is used.
BUT the video and audio are not out-of-sync.

2- With "winetricks dsound", the intermittent audio looping disappear but the
video and audio are out-of-sync.

------

In fact, the problem #2 come from the dsound dll installed by winetricks.
Winetricks use "directx9_feb_2010" installer to replace the fake dll. The dll
version for dsound in Dx9 installer is 5.x => Windows XP version

I tried BG&E in my real Win7 partition and the game works correctly (problem
#1/#2 don't exist). If i look the dsound dll from System32 folder, it's the 6.x
version => Win7 version

So in my wineprefix, i replace WinXP dsound dll (installed by winetricks) by
the Win7 dsound dll (from my real partition) and now when i play at BG&E, i
haven't intermittent audio looping and the video and audio are not out-of-sync.

In resume :
1- Install BG&E from Uplay or CD or Steam
2- Replace dsound.dll by this dll downloaded here
:http://www.down-dll.com/index.php?file-download=dsound.dll&arch=32Bit&version=6.2.9200.16384&dsc=DirectSound#
3- Set Wine to Win7 in winecfg and set set dsound=native
4- Play :)

I need your tests to confirm this workaround.

Thanks,
Max
