No sound in wine.

err:winmm:proc_PlaySound Aborting play loop, waveOutWrite error

That's my output when I try to play a test sound. I'm able to actually play StarCraft, but I can't get the sound to work. I have PulseAudio and ALSA installed, just not sure how to configure either.

And yes, I have read the stickey. Couldn't find any information I could use.

Although I will add that I'm using Fedora 14 64-bit and the latest version of wine.

Ask on the Fedora User forum how to disable pulseaudio. Wine does not support it.

While that is true, if you need to keep pulseaudio on your system for
something else you may be able to remove just the pulseaudio related
packages for wine. I'm not sure how tightly Fedora 14 is bundling Wine
in the repo. I know people have successfully used kept pulseaudio and
gotten sound in Wine before, but I would expect it to take a fair bit of
trial and error with the settings.

wine-pulseaudio is a separate package in Fedora 14, so removing that
package could be worth a try: if that breaks something that presumably
you'd just reinstall it.

FYI I got that answer by running: "sudo yum list wine-*" from a normal
user. The '-*' is needed to force yum to list all packages starting with
'wine'. Omitting it merely lists the main wine package.
