Matty, I just had the same problem. You need to set only the OSS driver to be used in winecfg, then open up the GNOME mixer, change driver to OSS (File menu), then go to record tab and turn on record control for PCM. Funny how things in Linux work the same exact way as in Windows.
Edit: dude, what kinda video card do you have that lets you run R4 and Compiz/Beryl at the same time?
my (wimpy, pathetic little) Geforce FX5200 couldn't dream of doing that.

Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 8:01 amI know this thread is old but for what its worth I have R4 working in Ubuntu Karmic Koala with wine 1.1.39 and there were/are no issues what-so-ever. You can see it running here and you will notice I have compiz running as well:

NB: The frame rates are sensational.
I hope this post will help others in the Linux community try R4 as we are constantly hearing people wanting better visualisations other than libvisual and ProjectM. With R4 as an addition what more could you want?

Do you get any error messages?
Most likely R4 won't run becasuse you don't have the correct drivers for your Video Card. If you've got an Nvidia card you'll have to install the 'Restricted Drivers'.
Do 'glxgears' or other OpenGL apps work under your Ubuntu install?
