wine users - Sep 2009 - Audio problems in karmic-9.10

I am running wine 1.1.29 in kubuntu karmic-9.10 64-bit, and I am having a
problem with audio in wine -- namely, there is none.  The problem seems to be
that in jaunty, there are several files installed in /usr/lib32/alsa-lib that
are needed to support audio in wine, as part of the ia32-libs package.  In
karmic, those files are not present in the package -- there are only a couple of
bluetooth related files in /usr/lib32/alsa-lib. Now as a temporary solution, I
was able to copy over the alsa-lib directory from jaunty into karmic, and audio
now works. But in the long term, is there a solution to this problem in the
works, since it looks like the intention may be to not support the 32-bit audio
files in the future?

Then there is either another package you are not installing or it's a bug
you should report to Ubuntu.

Wine is a 32-bit app and will stay that way as long as you want to run 32-bit
windows programs.
