I was going to try Mint 16 64-bit because I read if you use 64-bit Wine the problem doesn't exist, but then I realized that these games all require 32-bit virtual drives and PlayOnLinux is only 32-bit. So it probably won't change anything.
I also downloaded Ubuntu 14.10 Beta, but I hesitate to try it out. I've never really been "into" betas because they can be buggy.
I totally agree with you Allenskd, Cinnamon does use a lot of resources out-of-the-box. Not exactly sure why, but since I was originally a Windows guy, it was even worse! With today's fast hardware its not so bad, but with Wineserver running in the background I am wasting a lot of resources. I have even tried Openbox DM with these problems and of course the audio issues still exist.
Right now I'm writing up everything I have done and will post on the LinuxMint forum to see if anyone else has dealt with this.
I have done your Alsa underrun tutorial two or three times and am still having the problem. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
One thing that confuses me is that i have a default.pa in two places:
I also noticed that pulseaudio in the system monitor has a Priority of "Very High" while literally everything else has "Normal".
Is this correct? Should I set it to Normal?
