I am interested in this. 
Does Fedora 12 use pulseaudio? Is esound installed by default? 
Ubuntu used to work very well with alsa before pulseaudio was introduced. 
Now, winecfg shows that alsa doesn't have a mixer. To get a mixer, I install
esound (which means I have to uninstall both pulse and ubuntu-desktop, which
screws up my updates). 
If esound is loaded, winecfg shows an alsa mixer. And DNS recognizes it. 
But the sound does not work, somehow. 
I'd love to get alsa working again. The sound for DNS purposes was so much
better.
