I'm a dummy!

Because I didn't see d3dx9_26 in the list of available libraries, like
an idiot I didn't think of typing this in and then clicking "add". After
doing this Civ IV starts up just fine!

My only remaining question relates to how to get Wine apps to play out
of my USB speakers? They are detected under the ALSA driver in winecfg,
I'm just unsure as to how to tell Wine to actually use them?
