I would not be despondent about "Not getting Sonar to work under Wine". 
There were reports of like Cakewalk 9 working under wine. This is 
comparable to the HAL 2000 on Space Odesy 2001!! I don't think anyone 
has reported on Winhq about Sonar ever working. I too have attempted 
installing on known working versions of Wine that run vst's. I think the 
dxi and WDM driver stuff is one of the biggest problems.

I think the vst page over there on Dave's site reports someone getting 
Kontakt and/ or Reaktor working??
