wine users - Aug 2009 - Winecfg: err alsa could not find PCM playback element

When I first install wine using the default repository in Ubuntu 9.04 and run
winecfg I get the following error:


wine: created the configuration directory '/home/bill/.wine'
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume'
element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume'
element
fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x7d0049e8, overlapped 0x7d0049cc): stub
fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub
wine: configuration in '/home/bill/.wine' has been updated.

element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume'
element
fixme:jack:JACK_drvLoad error loading the jack library libjack.so.0, please
install this library to use jack


Then I ran it again and it did this:
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume'
element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume'
element
fixme:jack:JACK_drvLoad error loading the jack library libjack.so.0, please
install this library to use jack

Then I installed jackd and ran it again. It brought up the wine window and I had
no messages printed in the terminal. Then when I clicked on the audio tab I got
this:
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume'
element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume'
element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume'
element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume'
element

and the dialog box inside the wine window kind of froze up/messed up
graphically.

The audio tab will eventually load and if alsa is ticked and applied there is
sound but I don't know why there is this PCM playback thing going on. I
thought it might have something to do with running WOW as the last time I
installed ubuntu and wine wow would always crash upon running with a hex error
code. I had installed it by copying the windows program folder over to the wine
c drive so that might have been something.
