Yes, this is the problem.  It only works up to the
Wine version I mentioned in the notes.  The newest
versions won't let it work.

That's a good question.  Lately, a lot of stuff in
Wine has been losing compatibility; I don't know if
that's because "hacks" are being removed in place of
developing full-qualified DLLs over time or simpley
because advancements in one area are breaking other
areas.  In any case, I don't really know how to do
regression testing; so, I can't report back to the
wine-devel alias what broke what.  However, I do read
up on the wine-devel alias, and lately, there's been a
lot of work on directsound, and I believe the
quartz.dll as well.

I haven't played with either of these.  Tracktion has
come up multiple times on this alias, though.  I'm
very Sonar-centric!!! :)

The latter, mainly. My (possibly wrong) understanding is that recently 
the handling of X11 updates (which affects basically every program), was 
moved into the Wine server, and some improvements made along the way. 
This introduced a number of regressions, most of which have been fixed, 
but a few may still linger.

It really is fairly painless, though a fast internet connection and fast 
computer help tremendously.
