There were no errors until installing wine 1.1.10.  Prior version of wine 1.1.9
had no errors, and although it DID have the scratch/hiss described in this bug,
it was nowhere near as problematic as the sound is now.

Using padsp and OSS for winecfg is currently the ONLY way to get this
application (EVE-Online) to behave somewhat normally, but the latencies
introduced by using the oss solution is not optimal at all in a purely PVP
environment.

As to the request for a small freeware application, no.  EVE, however, IS a
free download and has 14 day trial available with no credit card usage.

The ONLY change to my system was to upgrade to wine 1.1.10.
alsa version: 1.0.17dfsg
