[Bug 473453] [NEW] Spotify sound problem

[Stephen Roberts]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wine

Wine Package 1.0.1-0ubuntu8
Spotify 0.3.21 rev 56306
Ubuntu Karmic 9.10

Starting Spotify via the menu link created by the installed program 
env WINEPREFIX="/home/steve/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Spotify\spotify.exe" 

Attempting to play any song in Wine, sound playback is distorted.  It's jerky and plays faster than it should. There seems to be a small sample of sound, then it skips a fraction, then another small fraction of sound.
If I open "Sound Preferences" and switch it to the Applications tab, there is an entry 
"ALSA plug-in [wine-preloader]"  This entry flickers as if it it is being loaded and unloaded repeatedly.

This used to work fine in ubuntu 9.4.
I have tried this under the Wine v1.2 package and I get the same behaviour.
