Eric, one last thing.
If i got to the Sound Settings panel inside Counterstrike and unselect Hex support and A3D support and instead i just select High Quality Sound for fast computers, whenever i try to join a game the Wine console says:
err:wave:wodDsCreate DirectSound flag not set This sound card's driver does not support direct access The (slower) DirectSound HEL mode will be used instead.
i hope this might help.
(oh, i ran the game just with -game cstrike -console parameters and wine just with the --winver parameter. )
