Using pthread_create within Wine

There are some problems if Linux libraries create a thread behind the calling 
application in Wine. I do not know what the problem is precicely, but I think 
Win32 code can be confused if it is called from a thread that doesn't have 
the Win32 thread structures that should belong to it. If the library creates 
a thread, and this thread calls back into the Windows app's code, the code 
running in the windows application can't find the current thread ID, simply 
because the Win32 thread information is not there.

There was a problem like this with the CoreAudio library on macos, but I am 
not sure about the details.

Is there any reason why you cannot use CreateThread?
