Your sound card driver doesn't support mmap which is needed by direct
sound to do hardware acceleration.  Your config file has
"HardwareAcceleration" = "Emulation" so the config file probably
was not reread after the program crashed the first time.  You need to run:
wineserver -k
to kill the wineserver or you could just logout and log back in again.
