I'm afraid I can't. It all works here. But all the reports I get from
people on #winehq don't have that much details.
I had one person who had winecfg crash each time he went to audio tab.
Installing arts & esd didn't help - same result. It was a pre-compiled
binaries.

If such a crash would happen what would you be interested in? (what debug
channels, system information, etc.?)

Well I'm not sure how about other configurations, but on mine I can not
set it to anything else with any driver I have. My system is nForce 2
with ALSA HW drivers.
