Gentoo used to patch PulseAudio support into wine if the pulseaudio use flag was turned on. It had to be removed due to wine restructuring the audio layer and the patch being incompatible. The Ubuntu wine team have created a new PulseAudio patch. I've tested it with 1.5.6 and it works great. PulseAudio wine bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10495 Ubuntu PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa Direct link to the Debian diff containing the patch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wine1.5/wine1.5_1.5.5-0ubuntu1~ppa1~oneiric1+pulse17.debian.tar.gz Reproducible: Always
I've added the patch that is recommended in the upstream bug report (i.e. http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/87234) to wine-1.5.7. Note that the patch also applies to 1.4.1, but 1.4.1 crashes at runtime for me if it's built with the patch. >*wine-1.5.7 (24 Jun 2012) >*wine-1.4.1 (24 Jun 2012) > > 24 Jun 2012; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> wine-1.2.ebuild, > wine-1.2.1.ebuild, wine-1.2.2.ebuild, wine-1.2.3.ebuild, +wine-1.4.1.ebuild, > +wine-1.5.7.ebuild, wine-9999.ebuild: > Bump, see http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.5.7 and > http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.4.1 for the announcements.
