i tried getting live8 to run. using latest wineasio and win.
it sort of works but gives xruns with low latency.

to get rid of these xruns i started patching wine, but it still did not
yield proper RT performance, and the ui is pretty sluggish.

at a period size of 1024 it started working nicely.
however recording audio didnt work.
(complains about not being able to open the wav file)

if you just want to look at it. choose a big jack period size and allow
a timeout so it doesnt get kicked upon causing an xrun.
but serious usage in wine is probably out of question.
