Not sure if this can be modded or, bluntly, i've missed something, but a heads up for those who might try this, and not understand why it doesn't want to compile or install.
One problem is that you can't connect to a 64-bit JACK from a 32-bit instance of wineasio. This problem may be resolved sometime soon, maybe not. Meanwhile, you can build Wine and wineasio for 64-bits. I've not experimented with any 64-bit native Windows music and sound software, sorry.

For perspective: I run Reaper on a JAD box (2.4 GHz) with OpenSUSE 10.2, with Wine and wineasio for a reported latency between 2 to 6 ms. I run Reaper on my 64 Studio box (2 GHz) with a 32-bit build of Wine but without wineasio and get a much higher latency report (between 24 and 164 ms). Sound hardware is the same for both machines (M-Audio Delta 66), and both systems are configured for realtime kernel performance.
