Key words: "stock X11 server". XQuartz has much better support for this. You should be using that.

I wrote a message to the list about fixing those tests once. The problem is that the functionality they test (well, at least the */change tests) isn't implemented on Mac. And none of our options for implementing it look good (c.f. "Failing kernel32:change and ntdll:change tests on Mac OS").

No. It's just that the kernel for some reason only supports NX on stacks in 32-bit code. They fixed it in Mac OS 10.7.

I know that some CoreAudio devices actually don't have software volume controls. Optical out, for example. For these devices, Set*Volume will always fail. Not sure if that's what 's happening in your case, though.

From what I can tell, Wine's WinSock implementation seems to depend on several nuances of Linux's BSD sockets implementation that are different from the original 4.xBSD implementation (from which most others, including WinSock itself, are derived).

Hope that helps.
