Sound for Wine-1.7.34 works at :0

Open a new X session at :1
lets make audio possible at :1 with:

usermod -a -G audio $USER      #requires re-login  
pax11publish -D :1 -e
DISPLAY=:1 ck-launch-session

Test sound with mplayer (it works, but not through pulseaudio)

$ WINEDEBUG=+quartz winecfg /Audio/Test Sound
err:pulse:pulse_contextcallback Context failed: Connection refused

How to fix?

    I suspect you were using the default alsa audio output back-end of mplayer. Try with "mplayer -ao pulse" to see if mplayer works with pulseaudio. – dobey Feb 24 '15 at 20:10
  • mplayer failed with pulse. So that means pulse will not work at X :1 or you think there may have some way? or.. may be I should make wine work with alsa? – Aquarius Power Feb 24 '15 at 20:48

    I don't know what the exact issue is (or why you're even bothering with trying to run something on a different X server and have it output sound like this). It says connection refused though, which seems like a permissions problem with the socket it uses, or similar. – dobey Feb 24 '15 at 22:13
  • I found a way to have sound but it have issues: winetricks sound=alsa (to undo is necessary edit registry removing that key), the problem is many sounds on the games are missing, some sounds play and many others dont (no idea why); at :0 all sounds play, at :1 (without pulseaudio) the problem happens. – Aquarius Power Feb 25 '15 at 01:28
  • I run on a different X because of some reasons like: avoid changing screen resolution and messing all other windows; avoid issues with grabbed mouse; there are a few more. – Aquarius Power Feb 25 '15 at 01:31
  • I also tried to temporarily disable pulse audio and test again with alsa, but the sound problems remained (so seems not be a conflict but an alsa limitation?) – Aquarius Power Feb 25 '15 at 03:19
  • @dobey it worked, the socket tip you gave helped thanks! I am playing from :1 thru TCP! will post what I did. – Aquarius Power Feb 25 '15 at 03:57

I managed to play using pulseaudio from DISPLAY :1 through TCP (without system mode daemon):

I got the instructions from this blog post which got the fix from here on fedora forums.

cp /etc/pulse/default.pa ~/.pulse/
echo "load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1" >>~/.pulse/default.pa
echo "default-server = 127.0.0.1" > ~/.pulse/client.conf
pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio -D
