wine users - Mar 2009 - problem with soundcard recognition

Today I have a problem with soundcard recognition. 

In winecfg, the alsa-driver MIDI Out and In devices are:
Midi Through Port-0

??
I have done everything I have done in the past to get sound in wine. 

I have purged pulseaudio. 

asoundconf list give me:
Generic

and I have set that to be my default card. 

How come wine is not recognizing it?
