Audio problem.

[mike3]

Hi.

I've noticed audio problems when using Wine on Sun's Solaris 10 UNIX system. When I go to run a program that uses audio, like a game, it seems not to be synchronized properly and skips some. What's up with that, anyway? I noticed some messages about not being able to find "SUNW,oss" and also this, if it has any relevancy:

"fixme:mpeg3:mp3_horse Error occurred during decoding!
err:mpeg3:decodeMP3 Output buffer too small"

[mike3]

Any answers?

Just found out the precise error(?) message is this:
"esd: Unknown device `SUNW,oss', but will try anyway."

Try starting the esd daemon manually in another terminal.

Don't know what that would accomplish -- wouldn't it already be running? How would that fix the glitching/desync? And furthermore running esd at the terminal just burps out that same error "esd: Unknown device `SUNW,oss', but will try anyway.".

Whoops, misread your error. Nevermind.

So what is the problem, then?

I don't know. Wine has recently had a bit more problems with
stuttering, but that was mostly on Pulseaudio from what I hear.

Audio on Sun isn't really tested much, so could be a wine problem or a
Sun problem.

Does the sound test in winecfg work?

The test works. Although I'm not sure how that has to do with the skip/desync problem, though.
