Hi, Austin... 

I'm going to wait to file a bug after either someone confirms for me or I re-install clean, so that I know it's not me. 

I got Karmic-studio installed by upgrading my current system, which contains a self-compiled rt-kernel, an alsa daily build, and wine from git. My rt-kernel doesn't have the ubuntu patches (the patches don't work, by the way--major freezing problems). 

I will be able confirm after I install Studio fresh from a disk, but that will have to wait until they put out a daily build that installs correctly on my machine. (With previous upgrades, I haven't gotten a Studio install disk to work until at least Alpha 1 has been finalized.)

Now, here's some background.... 
For a few maybe three weeks, alsa sound hasn't worked properly in wine, at least in my application and possibly in steam. Incoming sound just stops working after about 10 seconds (or possibly after you start/stop/restart speaking) and the program freezes. 
I filed a Ubuntu bug and it was marked invalid. A similar steam bug is still open. I hope Ubuntu hasn't "solved" the problem by disallowing all alsa applications that don't go through pulse. 
Oss works, but of course the sound isn't nearly as good.
