Red Alert under WINE

[Mini Mike]

Where is the best place to get the lastest version of wine?  I got the last
version from one of the mirrows on winehq.com.  Is it best to get the rpm or
to compile?  I have a sound card, but have not got it running under Linux.
I have both an Avance Logic ALS 100 and a Soundblaster Live!, do you know
which is the easyies to get working?  Should I use OSS or ALSA?  Once again,
thanks for your continued support.
