Game Testing Update Wine-20040309

[Brett I. Holcomb]

If you're interested:

Half-Life - works well with wineoss but dies with winealsa.  A bug was 
filed, info submitted but no feedback yet.  I may try another cvsupdate 
and see what happens.

Soldier of Fortune - runs okay, a little slow but that may be due to the 
sound problem.  With Wineoss no sound at all.  If you Alt-tab away you 
get sound!

Soldier of Fortune II - wants CD inserted for check.  When that is done 
it doesn't see the CD.  The drive is setup correctly because installs work.
