Additional Comments
Requires wininet.dll, installable with winetricks
Streaming without a virtual desktop will stream the outlined area on whatever the active workspace is. Using a virtual desktop will confine the stream to the virtual desktop, even when switching the active workspace in GNOME.
The best workaround I had for the audio source issue (in order to stream my game sounds and mic) was to set up two streams at two different sources, and in pulseaudio change one of the recording streams wine requests to a monitor, and leave the other stream on my mic.

Non Functional

I followed the howto. I tried everything I could imagine. The program will not launch. It says it installs, but nothing at all happens when I attempt to run it. I've talked to people who use Procaster with Wine, so I know it's possible. I would really appreciate help getting it to work.
Not Working

I was unable to get Procaster working using the method detailed above (override wininit.dll). I have WinXP set as my Windows version and am copying the dll's from a legitimate, up-to-date XP install.
The initial out-of-the-box problem is that it always reports a failed login even when you enter valid information.
After overriding wininit.dll, I got errors about missing normaliz.dll and iertutil.dll, which I guess are needed by wininit. I copied those into the Procaster directory. Then, trying to login, I get:
LoginCommander: try to connect to server
wine: Call from 0x7bc4b8a0 to unimplemented function urlmon.dll.410, aborting
Then it crashes. If I override urlmon.dll, it reverts back to the initial problem of always reporting a failed login.
At this point I'm a bit stuck. With the built-in urlmon.dll, Procaster crashes. With the XP native .dll, it can't authenticate. Are there other dll's that might need to be over-ridden?
