I'm really wondering why nobody has fixed the DSOUND buffer underrun bugs..
I get lots of these message when I run World of Warcraft:

The problem is known. It has to do with wine, increasing thread
priority, and linux kernel. Right now, the only way is to have root
privileges. This is not really considered a solution for wine.
I don't think this has anything to do with the kernel or the thread
priority.
I have installed vlc for windows, then tried to play a song. Went fine,
then I changed to the wine git directory and started compiling wine
(make -j5), and then it started skipping. But then I started rhythmbox
and played a song and that worked fine. So any linux-native alsa
application works fine even if the system is under heavy load.
maybe there is a delay between the application and wineserver, or
someone is holding a lock and doesn't let dsound mix the buffers.
Is the ALSA driver really considered incomplete? Is the OSS driver
better? I can't really use OSS because I also need to run TeamSpeak, and
aoss32 doesn't work with wine.
