New trick (well, actually a fix by the alsa folks) to not have to do without Alsa in Wine on OpenSUSE:

Add the Multimedia:/Audio Build Service repository and in YaST switch the search dropdown to repositories. Choose that repo and on the right, right click and choose all in this list, update all with newer versions if available. Proceed, and alsa will be upgraded to a version that fixed the Wine problem.

Actually, I always answered No to the question of whether Wine should delete the Alsa references in the registry. I didn't want those deleted in case Alsa got fixed, like it is. Don't know if you wouldn't need to start over with a fresh ./wine directory and wineprefixcreate for a complete registry build that includes Alsa again if you answered Yes to that question.

Now I'm on Debian Lenny and got no error like that anyway. I built Wine by compiling it with ./tools/wineinstall like I usually do in Debian since the winehq package is for Etch and the Debian package is usually behind in versions.

Only new problem I have is wineboot gives an error about winedevice: ServiceMain driver ("MountMgr" failed to load), but everything works regardless.

DVDFab 4030 froze when beginning to rip, but 4032 fixed that and all is well. I was happy when it was able to actually automatically upgrade itself perfectly. I opened DVDFabHDDecrypter, it detected an upgrade and installed it fine without my uninstalling, reinstalling bother. Then I ripped a DVD fine too! I assume it doesn't do this for Beta's, but I'll find out the next time I use the program. I'd actually prefer it didn't do that for beta's. I've been upgrading to them but I'd think the default update check should only detect release versions.
