Update:  I experimented a bit and have some good results to report.  If I use
all three patches (more details to follow) then two things happen:  Background
music works and I don't get crash messages anymore.

I seem to need this patch (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=31413) to
prevent one cause of crashes.  It addresses this bug:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24831  I couldn't get Fallout New Vegas
(FNV) to launch without it.

Your patch (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=31770) gets rid of the
crash messages I used to get even when the game successfully launched.  That
one is for this bug:  http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24782  It must be
as you mentioned, that the game plays music with a separate process.  This
patch stops that process from crashing.  However, this alone does not allow any
music to play in FNV.

Your patch (http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=31242) when used alone
seems to have no effect on FNV.  Alone, it does not solve the crash messages
and it does not enable background music.

However, if I apply all three patches to the Wine-1.3.5 sources and recompile,
FNV stops crashing AND music works perfectly.  I can also click "Exit" from the
game menu and it closes properly -- before it would consistently hang on exit
and I would have to go back to the terminal and CTRL-C to kill the process.  I
still get the occasional crash but not nearly as bad as before.

I have also tried the same setup described above with Fallout 3 and it works
without a hitch.  I heard all the music and experienced no crashes.  Thank you
again for all of your help with this.
