Wine hangs when creating initial configuration

[Raenock]

Hi, I'm using Debian Squeeze and never had a problem with Wine (aside from application related stuff). I just updated from 1.1.37 to 1.1.44 and when running wincfg a dialog appears showing "The Wine configuration in ~/.wine is being updated, please
wait..." and hangs. When running it from the shell I get the following:

wine: created the configuration directory '~/.wine'
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server socket
jack server is not running or cannot be started
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out

After some time, winecfg opens but I can't get some applications to work. Any ideas?

Hello,
I am experiencing the same hang also on Debian Squeeze.

This behaviour is starting with this commit:

2c067ed31efa00f4c4baa48e5c952418b9337b3a is the first bad commit

It does not hang when creating a ~/.alsoftrc and putting following lines in it:

#drivers = pulse,alsa,oss,solaris,dsound,winmm,port,wave
drivers = pulse,alsa,oss,solaris,dsound,winmm,wave

The first line is the default copied from /etc/openal/alsoft.conf.
In the second line only "port" is removed to get it working.

Kind regards
Bernhard
