Jumping in: our implementation of the OSS API has some constraints on
the order of what function (setting/ioctl) can be called after another,
which the linux implementation doesn't seem to have. I've patched
quakeforge and quake2forge a while ago to get sound output. So it may be
the case, that those programs which behave not as intended may not check
the error code and think everything is fine. For wine it should be easy
to check (just instrument the code with appropriate printf()s.

Bye,
Alexander.
