Maverick: winealsa seg fault when running Spotify in wine

[SB9784]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get Spotify running in wine on Maverick. I've had this running on older versions of Ubuntu in the past, but now it's not working. Spotify loads up fine, but as soon as I try to play some audio it crashes. When running it from the terminal I get the folowing backtrace:

Backtrace:

I've tried changing the audio drivers to something else (I unchecked "ALSA" and checked "OSS") but that didn't seem to fix it - in this case Spotify brings up an error message saying there is a problem with the soundcard and it can't play any music.

I don't really understand much about audio drivers - does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Ubuntu has removed OSS from the kernel in Maverick, so it's no longer supported. Try Esound (ESD) output of WINE, since pulseaudio emulates ESD, and I've seen reports of Spotify working with it.
