Still broken in 1.5.5, and André's patch (try 6 was the latest I saw) is not in the queue anymore. Plus, another person posted that Winamp works just fine in 1.5.4; I don't know if it's system specific, or if people just aren't posting that they have certain winetricks installed.
You don't need winetricks; deleting Wine's vc90 "deadbeef" manifest is all that is needed to work around this. That should have been mentioned in the test reports, though, and the ratings should have been gold rather than platinum.
