Hi Jörg
The picture on test.winehq.org is a disaster: None of the w95, w98, nt4, 2k, 2k3, Vista, 2k8, w7 machines have performed winmm:wave tests! They all have no sound configured. Mostly useless.
A lot of those VMware boxes are mine. They come in two flavors. Some of them (starting with esx-) are ESX VMs, ESX is VMware's data center
product,
which simply doesn't support sound. The others (starting with gvg-) are Server VMs, which do support sound. The reason I didn't configure sound on them is because I'm simply not interested in sound. I'll consider enabling sound, but to be honest I'm a bit put off by your aggressive
tone.
Anyway, the end result is that there will always be ESX VMs that can't run sound tests.
After a bit of mucking around I got sound to work on the Linux host where those VMware Server VMs run, and enabled sound in the VMs where possible. I could not find correct sound drivers for some of the old stuff (NT4 and below), so those still don't have sound, neither do the ESX VMs.
For W98 and WinME you should be able to use:

I've installed these on both platforms without any problems.
