--- Comment #123 from dk <developer at gaminglounge.com> ---
@JHaleIT - I'm just as surprised as you that it works but I have no idea why it
would. Anything I can think of is just speculation. I would assume that the
official AMD supported Linux driver (I was using the last stable release) would
be good (meaning thoroughly tested).

I mean - what are the odds that this bug occurs on both the official NVidia and
AMD drivers? It could be something with the Linux Kernal but then how are the
open source drivers working? Even if the open source drivers aren't working
properly (and are somehow able to skip whatever is causing this issue) THAT bug
in itself is probably valuable because it really narrows down where we should
look at in the Wine code. So again - it seems like it's back to Wine.

I found myself wondering that if this problem exists in the kernal/drivers
shouldn't we be seeing other issues from other games that are using the d3d8
apis?

@Brian - back around comment 62 I was using a different computer with a Nvidia
card. Disabling the sound resulted in a more specific error related to
direct3d. I *think* that around that time (Wine 1.3-ish) Wine was undergoing a
sound architecture revamp. Sound cut out on a couple of non-related games that
I had tried to play and I was told to wait for Ubuntu to catch up. 

I'm still not sure what caused it but the errors did seem more meaningful with
the sound off.

I did have sound enabled with the open source drivers so it looks like that
problem has been fixed (or maybe the AMD chipset I'm using isn't as affected?)
