Hmm. Pulseaudio already broke games by blocking /dev/dsp (but then
games broke also due to various ABI changes in userspace libs,
dropping of stuff like GTK1, dynamic CPU frequency scaling, changes
in shell behavior etc etc. Linux gamers need to be surviors). dosbox
works just fine, dosemu broke due to vm.mmap_min_addr != 0 already.
There is no generic problem with wine (tested with ioq3).
