There was a thread sometime ago on the Sonar forum, where the 
possibility of running Sonar on Linux was addressed. Ron Kuper 
(Cakewalk's VP/Engineering) tried running it under wine, but reported 
Sonar won't run for now. It was also clear that it is not a priority for 
them, so it will probably take long before Sonar runs (if ever) on 
linux, especially since it so deeply interacts with WDM kernel streaming 
stuff.
