Hi David:

  Lately I've been using the pre-packaged WINE system from Demudi/Debian 
Etch. The configuration stuff is now done via the wineconf utility (or 
winecfg, I don't remember and I'm away from the relevant machine). WINE 
will cheerfully ignore any previous ~/.wine/config file.

  For Debian, I had to download the libwine-alsa and libwine-jack 
packages before those choices appeared in the wineconf panel. I have not 
severely tested the latest JACK support, I hope it's improving.

Best,
