wine users - Mar 2009 - Possible recent bug disables sound in wine - Ubuntu Studio

I have sound problems in Ubuntu Studio, starting yesterday. These may be caused
by a Ubuntu bug, but I wanted to run them by wine users and see if anyone else
is having a similar problem.

My configuration:

I use Ubuntu Studio. I installed it clean this morning, with default options. 

Then I purged pulseaudio (because pulseaudio does not work with wine) 

asoundconf list shows the following
Names of available sound cards:
Intel
Generic (this is the card I use)

set-default-card Generic

Installed wine. 
Wine shows the following:

alsa-driver
MIDI Out Devices: Midi Through Port-0
MIDI In Devices: Midi Through Port-0
Mixer Devices: 
     HDA Intel
     HDA-Audio Generic

Installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking. 
DNS does not recognize sound from either card. 

Ubuntu bug #350160 was filed by someone else, and I added my information to
that.

...select Hda-Intel Mixer in Prefs->Sound and switch everything to ALSA? You
might also need to add the Alsa driver->use direct hw key in regedit. Check
the registry wiki.
  Purging pulse probably isn't a good idea. Killall pulseaudio = good.

Tried both out. No good. Discovered in the process that soundcards also not
recognized when using linux/audacity.
So my sound is just entirely out.

Yeah, that could be a problem. Install v1.0.19 of the alsa-libs & drivers.
There's a configure option --with-cards=hda-intel for the driver if
that's what you have.

There was apparently a bug in the Ubuntu Studio daily builds of Friday-Sunday
that interfered with sound when pulseaudio was purged. It affected all
applications, not just wine.
This situation no longer happens as of 30-Mar-2009 daily build.
