The wine-1.2 series might work better (It have had more than a year of development since then...)

On some cards, ALSA without dmix allows only one program to use the soundcard at a time...

Some details on Wine's sound settings and your audio configuration might be useful.... (Have you removed pulseaudio, soundcard (relevant lspci lines might work)) (Note: Someone else is probably better at helping you fix the actual problem... I'm ussually not to bad at guessing revelant debug info...) Logs (obtained by running wine from the console (ssee FAQ)) might also be useful. An example of starting an application when sound works and when it doesn't work in particular.. Gert
