That's what I hear from so many people and both encourages and
frustrates me since sound  continues to evade me under most, but not
all, WINE conditions ( remember I mentioned that sound works find
during installation...just not during game play ).  Did you build your
install from source or was it from a Deb or RPM package?  Also, did
you use ALSA for sound?

Considering the packages currently coming from YaST are fairly recent
and people have siad it "just works" for a year or more, I have to
think I just have some flag or conflicting config somewhere.
