[Wine] Alsa driver support missing from winecfg

I had alsa support before on wine before I compiled a patched version while trying to run Dragon Age: Origins. I downloaded the latest tarball of wine, and the following two patches: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20469, and
bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=22894. All seemed to be going well. Wine compiled and installed with no errors regarding alsa drivers, but when I had no sound in any of my wine applications I checked winecfg to see whether alsa was checked. At this point winecfg gave me a message box saying: "Found driver in registry that is not available! Remove 'alsa' from registry?" I left the alsa registry info intact and switched to the oss driver and did a test sound, but this failed. I'm uncertain if there were unmet dependencies while making wine, but I received no error messages regarding alsa, and all the dependancy issues that came up were resolved. Is there an alsa driver I need to install on top of wine in order to get my sound back, or what exactly do I need to do? I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and an SB Audigy ZS Sound Card. Also sound in Ubuntu works fine, only wine doesn't support sound as of right now.
