Related to post #13 above: - the answer is yes : still an issue with 1.3.34. I meanly use wine on ubuntu i386 (oneiric/precise) to run Metaquotes software: 1) MT4 loads and immediatly crash (nothing logged) if using the default audio winecfg: all set to use "system default". 2) but i dont get this issue if i change the audio winecfg settings to: default/default/HDA-intel-ALC882-analog/HDA-intel-ALC882-analog. So this seems to be an alsa/pulseaudio issue. 3) MT5 was running without trouble till wine 1.3.30, but as MT5 is still a work in progress, the recent versions all freeze after 10 seconds and seems again an audio issue, but cant find a way via winecfg.
