That's certainly not true of the sound tests. Those will fail on some
machines depending on whether you use wineoss or winealsa or winearts,
etc, and edpending on your soundcard. Some graphics tests may also be
sensitive to the X bit depth or other environmental issues.
It's still possible to run the Linux tests via 'make test' and that may
make winetest redundant on Linux to some extent. But we cannot claim
that the 'tests run under Wine/Linux anyway'.
