Oh. My. God.

I have returned from quite a long hiatus in blog entry writing to write about how I got sound working in Wine with a stock install of Ubuntu 12.10 and the (mostly) default Pulseaudio setup that Ubuntu uses. It took me 2 months and tens of Google searches for things like “Wine Ubuntu 12.10 no sound” and “What the hell? No pulseaudio sound with wine1.5.”

All I wanted to do was play Starcraft 2 without booting in to Windows. I’m fine with the lower frame rate when running under Wine. I JUST WANTED SOUND!
