Hey Al,

Clearly I forgot to explain what padsp does. It allows OSS to run
through Pulse Audio so anything that supports OSS audio output should
work fine with it. I set Wine to use the OSS driver to get it to work
for my games but all you'll need to do is run your game in OSS audio
mode.

Something along the lines of:

padsp game-name -oss-parameter

Hope that helps.

Jai
