The only way to get around this is to remove NAS from your system and/or build Wine without NAS support in the first place. If you see messages about JACK in the terminal they can be ignored unless you intend to use the JACK driver. If you wish to use the JACK driver then you need to install JACK's libraries onto your machine before JACK will work.'

Have you done what the message above called for?

1) completely removed NAS from your system.

2) Built wine from WineHQ.org source tarball with NAS disabled.

In my experience the Jack sound stuff is a non-issue if you're not
running the Jack server.

Hope this helps,
