wine users - Dec 2009 - WINE & 2.6.32 Kernels

I'm using Bluewhite64, a Slackware derivative. Lately, my computer is hard
locking within 2 seconds when selecting the audio tab of winecfg. I have many
video and audio devices on my system which never interfered with WINE
previously. The only major change that I made was moving to a 2.6.32 kernel and
updating git versions of mesa/drm/radeon drivers. I've tried old versions of
WINE and recent versions of WINE with the 2.6.32 kernel and ALL versions of WINE
hard lock my computer. No, I will NOT remove 2.6.32 just to use WINE. This
problem needs to be solved as I simply can't believe that I'm the only
one experiencing this nightmare. My system boots up video cameras with
uvcvideo,pwc,em28xx and gspca_spca505 drivers along with ALSA support. My main
audio driver is an onboard HDA-Intel. I can use WINE if I don't attempt to
select the audio tab of winecfg which simply brings up and hourglass and hard
locks the computer within a second. If I attempt to run applications which use
audio, the applications simply hang, but don't hard lock the computer.

I'm beginning to suspect the bleeding edge mesa/drm/radeon drivers as the
culprit. I'll sit tight and continue updating the drivers over the next week
or so. Hopefully, this problem will just disappear.

Works fine here with 2.6.32. Make sure you have alsa sound selected.

Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers]
Audio="alsa"
