Thanks, Uwe. I really apprecate all of this. I was wondering, why are we even using this library when there's been bugs in it that we discovered long ago, but never fixed? And another thing that bothers me: I've selected ALSA as my sound output, but the debug trace shows wineoss.drv loading. What's with that?
