clicking on the audio tab to check out bug 4051 first? Please!
How about we fix the problem instead? :)
The best way to fix it is probably to rearrange the code so that the
Audio tab shows, then there's a [Detect] button that the user can click
to run the autodetect code that might crash. At least then the user can
set their Wine Audio settings manually.

This is not enough, as when I click the audio tab, it will lock up in
the kernel. I already identified where it happens and patch the
kernel myself. I told the ALSA devs, but they haven't looked at why
certain register usage causes a lockup. So it remains in the stable
kernel who knows who else hits it.

Which is why I agree with the ideas from Mike and Dimi AND Segin.. Why
not put an autodetect button, have the exception handler catch the crash
if arts decides to die, and then still have a popup dialog for when arts
is manually selected that tells users it is buggy and not recommended to
use? That doesn't fix your specific problem Jesse, I know, but at least
it keeps winecfg open when you click on the audio tab.
