Please don't attach programs you don't have the right to distribute.
What is your goal in installing this driver? Note that you won't be able to use it to simply drive the audio device; see https://wiki.winehq.org/Hardware for more information.
My goal installing the soundcard driver is to make it possible for my audio SW to communicate with the soundcard (use its inputs and outputs). Would that not be possible by installing the driver.
No, it won't be possible. It would take a lot of work to make it possible with Wine, and even then it won't be recognized by native applications. If you want to use that sound card on Linux, you'll need to write an audio driver for Linux.
I understand this as any windows program relying on communication with an external unit, will not run under wine. I this case it makes no sense keeping this bug. Im I the one to withdraw/reject the bug and how. I am now in writing bugs.
By the way having read the hardware link above, I do not understand everything on that page. One of theese are: When is a driver a kernel driver?
Almost anything that's called a "driver" runs as a kernel driver. In some cases there are user-space APIs, though, that can be used instead. For Wine's purposes the difference doesn't usually matter.
