[pulseaudio-discuss] module-combine causes wine apps sound to crash [WAS: Latency control for wine ALSA emulation?]

[Ng Oon-Ee]

So after more testing, I figured out my automatic load-module
module-combine was causing the problem in this mail below.

The same does not occur when running on the sound card itself directly.
Is there any equivalent to tsched=0 for module-combine?
