Well, pretty much anything... "Morrowind" (tm) is the Ultimate Goal, but at this point, I'd be happy if I could view the "Two Towers" trailer with sound (via Crossover/QuickTime.) Planescape - Torment, is another experiment that I've been toying with (without much success.)
These programs (well, I don't know about morrowind) kinda work, but suffer from the same defect--terrible sound!!! (Or no sound at all.) I've got my KDE sound set, such that the sound server should "auto suspend" after 5 seconds. Note that I get no sound, what-so-ever, before it times out. After that, I get some sound, but it's so bad that I'd be better off without... At the moment, I'm running WineX 2.2.1 (as well as Crossover wine 1.1.3?) I know that they (transgaming?) recommend running with the KDE sound service (arts?) disabled, but even when I uncheck the "start arts on kde startup" (and re-boot), the sound is still hosed.. (I know, there's probably some system service that I could disable, but I'm reluctant to do so.) Given my experience with SDL games (like legacy doom), I'm convinced that using "soundwrapper" might be the solution. (Simply because the sound defects seem very similar to what I heard with legacy doom, prior to using soundwrapper.) But, I have no idea how to use it with wine. If you have some insight into this, I'd greatly appreciate it...
