I run Galeon on Gnome. What distro are you using, Punch? If it's any
version of RedHat, typing "sndconfig" at the command line as root will
invoke a program that you can run through to detect and set up your sound
hardware.
It's a bit controversial as to whether or not Wine will work with windows
games. Sometimes, but not always. Another program you might look into is
Merge by SCO, or Win4Lin by Trelos.
