wine 0.9.60 - mandriva 2008.1 spring no sound under wine

Hello I have a problem, I installed Mandriva 2008.1 spring edition and installed wine 0.9.60 and cedega 6.0.5.
I have no sound under wine with ALSA and I have sound under OSS. BUT all work with cedega
My game "RUNAWAY" say something like directx can't use sound beause it is already used by another app.
I Tryed some ticks I found under some forums but nothing work , ALSACONF say 2 applications use sound , I killed them but nothing more. (tricks are to kill apps that used sound card)
When I use OSS all works fine.
THEN I REINSTALLED LINUX (like a windows user

And now I have no sound with OSS and ALSA

I don't understand why linux's guru don't make a little program who solve basics problems like that (It is an idear , not a complain).
If someone cant help me to solve my mroblem.

Make sure there is nothing using sound. Stuff like pulseaudio for example is not compatible with Wine and have to be disabled/killed/uninstalled.

I checked if an application used sound and killed them , but nothing more ; no sound.
I uninstalled pulseaudio and linux didn't start kde when I rebooted

There is a probleme betwean mandriva 2008.1 and wine (I reinstalled them 2 times and I had the same problem-no sound under wine) ; Then I installed mandriva 2008.0 and everything work fine at the first strike.
I think it is pulse audio wich cause problem with wine but I can't confirm , I will do some more tests.
