           Summary: Age Of Empires III regression: Sound is muted once the
                    game is started
           Product: Wine

(Affects versions from 1.1.35 and on)

Age Of Empires III's sound works great out of the game itself (read: playing).
All the sound effects, everything works. However, once the game starts, sound
goes completely mute and doesn't come back (ie: ending the game and going back
to the menu doesn't bring the sound back).

Regression testing made me believe that it was a dsound bug, so I found this
commit:

    dsound: Clean up DSPROPERTY_Description1.

As to 'why' it happens, I have no clue, but I may try to help debugging it. In
advance, let me warn you that I am quite busy nowadays and won't have any
'free' time for the next 3-4 weeks. After that, I'll be more available.
