+d3dx,+d3d trace

While looking at old bugs (bug 10325), I noticed that Avencast has a problem
with d3dx:

"DXC_Gfx:  D3DXCreateTextureFromFileA failed: D3DERR_INVALIDCALL
(file:graphics\gui\windows\gui_energybar02_frame.tga)"

terminal shows:
fixme:d3d:wined3d_device_set_software_vertex_processing device 0x169430,
software 0 stub!
fixme:d3d:swapchain_gl_present WINED3D_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP not implemented.
fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet
fixme:d3dx:D3DXCreateTextureFromFileInMemoryEx Texture creation failed.

doing winetricks d3dx9 let's the game start without that error. I've attached a
+d3d,+d3dx trace
