For the audio freeze, try uninstalling arts if you have it. That's what seems to cause the freeze on my box. I also get output on the terminal saying "unable to create mcop directory."

I have also seen a problem with winecfg freezing the whole box the last two days, 20051226 snapshot. Outsite ping won't even work. My distro is slackware-current here. I think it may be related to audio because I removed my user from the audio group and I have not since been able to recreate the lockup. The reason I guessed audio is because 9 times out of 10 it locks up when clicking the audio tab. But it also locks up in or clicking the graphics tab.
Ok, I have now had it freeze without audio group permissions. I also know how to recreate the freeze. Start winecfg, go to audio tab, make a change (I unselect OSS and reselect), hit apply, then OK, then immediately start winecfg again. It then freezes.
