This morning I was using the Windows program Zillions of Games under
Wine 20001202 (latest snapshot).
I have had similar problems with this module for my Ensoniq
Soundcard. It seems to happen when a program that uses the sound does
not exit cleanly.
The (bad) solution I use is rmmod es1370;insmod es1370. Normally this
works.
I believe the right solution would be to try and debug this module.
Or maybe first check if it has changed in 2.4.
Thanks. I tried removing and reinstalling es1370 and soundcore with
both rmmod/insmod and modconf, and rebooted a couple of times, but
any attempt to play sound still hangs.
Aaargh... Does anyone have any other ideas?
