Hello,

I presume you have tried launching Datakam Player from a terminal to
look for e.g. warnings about a missing dependency such as mpg123.

If there is no missing dependency, it does seem easiest to try again
with a development version of Wine (i.e. 1.9). If using a development
Wine doesn't solve the problem, see:
