[Wine] audio config freeze

[Susan Cragin]

>When trying to configure Wine audio, system freezes & doesn't resolve after 3hrs.
>Spent a few late nights on forum threads, but no one seems to be mentioning similar problem. Installed latest Wine a few days ago, running Reaper audio under wine.
>Plays back fine, VST / VSTi's  install & run mostly OK. 
>MAudio Delta 192 soundcard with ALSA selected on all Prefs > Sound options.
>How to select ALSA on wine without freezing? No sound in. No midi working either.
>Also, jack is installed, but will not start from Main Menu shortcut.

>Any help appreciated. This is my last step to getting away from Windws.

This is just a suggestion because I don't know if I know what I'm talking about.... In Intrepid and Jaunty pulseaudio comes standard. Do you have backports enabled? Has it installed pulseaudio?
try 
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio
reboot
