------- Additional Comments From alexander.heinlein@web.de 2006-14-04 07:17 ------- Hi. I encounter the same issue. wine wants to access /tmp/ksocket-$USER, but i do not have KDE installed (only KDM) and do not use arts (arts isn't even installed, only some library headers which i can't uninstall because of SDL) or any other soundserver, but hardwaremixing. So i have to manually create the directory /tmp/ksocket-$USER to let the audio tab in winecfg not crash.
I tested this with wine 0.9.10 and 0.9.11.
