Wine and Pulseaudio Support

---------------------------

Currently wine does not have native support for pulseaudio. However different

ways exist to make wine sound work alongside pulseaudio. Different sound

outputs can be selected via `winecfg` or in the registry of wine.

ALSA

----

To achieve sound output via the wine alsa driver you need to add

a pulseaudio alsa device to the alsa configuration and activate it in wine. See

http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#ALSAApplications on how to do this.

Esound

------

If the pulseaudio-esound-compat package is installed selecting the EsounD driver

in wine should enable sound via pulseaudio.

OSS

---

To use the oss driver of wine copy the following script to ~/bin/wine and make

sure that ~/bin is in your path with a higher priority then /usr/bin. The script

will call the pulseaudio dsp wrapper padsp.

#!/bin/sh

if [ -x /usr/lib*/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so ] && [ -x "/usr/bin/padsp" ] ; then

    echo "Running padsp as pulseaudio wrapper for wine"

    exec padsp -n Wine -- /usr/bin/wine "$@"

else

    exec /usr/bin/wine "$@"

fi
