Prior to 1.2rc3, Grand Prix 4 used to crash shortly thereafter. However, since WINE 1.2rc3, after the audio stops, Grand Prix 4 continues without crashing ... just without audio. Only restarting Grand Prix 4 restores the audio temporarily before it repeats the pattern.

With WINE 1.2rc4, Grand Prix 4 is back to it's old behavior, i.e. the game crashing after the audio stops. Grand Prix 4 does use some weird method of detecting audio acceleration, however. For the game to be playable, this problem must be located and fixed.
