Deprecated sound functions

    It has just occurred to me that safedisc copy protection (bug 219!) wasn't put on the Wine 1.0 task list. It's a pretty major bug and covers a wide range of programs, with a wide range of safedisc versions. Considering this, how should we plan for this implementation?
