           Summary: Cepstral SwiftTalker hangs when rendering text to audio
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://downloads.cepstral.com/cepstral/windows/Cepstral_
                    Callie_windows_5.1.0.msi
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: msclrhd at gmail.com


Steps to reproduce:

1.  Install Cepstral SwiftTalker with a voice (e.g. Callie)
2.  You may need to register the voice (not tested this unregistered)
3.  Run winecfg to set the audio engine to ALSA
4.  In the text editor replace the default text with "This is a test."
5.  Move the text cursor so that it is at the beginning of the text (Ctrl+Home)
6.  Press play

You should hear "This is a test." spoken by the installed voice.

5.  Move the text cursor so that it is at the beginning of the text (Ctrl+Home)
6.  Press play

EXPECTED: You should hear "This is a test." spoken by the installed voice.
ACTUAL: Cepstral SwiftTalker hangs.

Using OSS as the audio engine yields the expected results. I am running Ubuntu
8.10 with PulseAudio.

I have run a regression test and git bisect found:
