I was unaware of wine, but since I am now under Debian I tried first 
"apt-get install wine", then "man wine". It works:-)

I could open the Delta44 for input from two channels. There was only one 
device, under Windows there are two. Windows does not allow four audio
channels from one device as far as I understand so I do not know how to 
handle this.

I have no idea. Presumably it will be much easier to make some little changes to
the code that runs under Windows.

There are still many problems with multi-threaded Linrad, I will try to make
it quite a bit more stable before I think about how to run under X11.
