Just been to check it out. Seems there's only a .deb for Debian-based systems but it's a great start. Look forward to testing this! Credit to the developers. @alex – Thanks for the info.

A simple restart always fixed the problem and as Ubuntu does this so painlessly it was a minor inconvenience. A week ago this fix stopped working, tried Andys solution and now have Spotify back Much love for Andy, Spotify was working fine unless I listened to youtube or similar for sound, if I then returned to spotify I got the error message about the sound card not working.

Trying to impose national borders on the Internet is a pretty futile exercise. People always find a way around it. @Neo – I know lots of people use VPN connections and proxies for Spotify and BBC iPlayer amongst other things.

Opening the sound preference showed Spotify flickering on and off trying to play. In the Wine Audio configuration I deselected ALSA driver and selected EsounD Driver. Also changed the DirectSound settings as per Spotify's instructions. Now sound output seems to be stable. Andy’s tip worked for me on 9.10 on a Dell Mini 10v
