Michael,

I have an Intel MB with the i8x0 on-board sound. I tried for about 4 
weeks to get sound working with ALSA and Wine (for a couple of games) 
and was never able to. ALSA worked fine for Linux only stuff but not for 
Wine. I finally dumped ALSA and installed the kernel OSS driver, 
i810_audio, and everything works now. I would prefer to use ALSA, but I 
want to be able to get sound in my Wine apps so, for now, no ALSA.

If you find a solution, please post here.
