           Summary: [Star Trek: Armada 2] Audio drops out after intro
                    screen
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.12
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: erik.weatherwax at gmail.com


Upon launching the game, the intro movies play fine with audio, but once the
game goes to the main menu, all sound is lost. Having been successful with this
game in the past, I ran a regression test, leading to:

    winealsa.drv: Add support for indirect read/write in directsound support.

    Allows pulseaudio to use the idsdriver interface, making it almost as
    fast as using native pulseaudio calls for as far as directsound is
    concerned. Prevents the creation of separate winmm feeder threads.

However, when I was running Ubuntu Karmic, I didn't have any issue with the
sound in the game, even with releases including this patch. Thus, I think this
may actually be an invalid bug for Wine, and I'll report it to the Ubuntu
bugtracker as well, but I don't have the expertise to be sure. I do know that
under Ubuntu 10.10, building Wine from source before the bad commit leads to
reliable sound in-game, and building from there onward reliably drops sound.
