MacNean Tyrrell problem we have here is it sometimes not wine. Sometimes is pulseaudio it self alsa emulation failing. few minutes death is a common one from pulseaudio alsa interface and pulse server being different versions. Since I don't normally use pulseaudio version of pulse and making sure you pulse install is correctly matched up would be the next wise things to check. ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:1008:(_snd_pcm_pulse_open) Unknown field If this is appearing on console still you version of pulse is not wine compadible. Ie too old.
