I updated my distro from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 yesterday. I did not update wine because the version it wants to use is 1.1.23 and I remember several posts of people having trouble with either .23 or .24. All of my games and office/work programs run fine through wine, but the wine cfg window will not start up. I get: ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory With 'alsa' in there and from what I could find on google I am guessing that is a sound something but I'm not sure where to go from there. All my wine sound in games (WoW,COH,Eve) works fine.

The 1.1.20 I am using the the install from the distribution package manager and is usually very stable. I would like to keep it updating with the rest of the system, at least once the repository version gets past 1.1.23 so I can skip that one. I found some references to similar winecfg errors through Google, but nothing exactly like that one or with a solution to try.

Using the separate WINEPREFIX the window did open winecfg, but when I tried to change to the audio tab to check a setting it crashed, the same way ventrilo does (vent is also giving me the same error: ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory

I guess you have to update Wine, or compile it yourself for the new distro.
