Linux Journal takes a look at Wine 1.2 running Windows music applications on Linux

On July 16 the Wine development team announced the public release of Wine 1.2, the "WINdows Emulator", aka "Wine Is Not an Emulator". I hadn't been keeping up with the project, so I decided to revisit it to see how Wine's audio/MIDI support had evolved. Past releases enabled a variety of small and mid-sized sound applications to run, but would the latest & greatest be able to meet the demands of at least some of the more popular music programs for Windows ?
