For VLC, you should install the pulseaudio output plugin. For mpg321, edit /etc/libao.conf and set the driver to "pulse". For mpg123, there is probably a command-line flag you can use to tell it to use pulseaudio directly.
As for wine, its audio output problems via pulseaudio are known. However someone is working on a wine pulseaudio driver, and its currently in a PPA. You can go here to get the details on how to install it: https://launchpad.net/~neil-aldur/+archive/ppa -- Audio crackles with some software https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463486 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
