Additional Comments
As for the Pulseaudio/stuttering problems below, those don't seem to be a problem with Mandriva's Pulseaudio configuration, though Mandriva is using a more current Pulseaudio as of this writing and so could explain why it is not glitchy, I've had Pulseaudio-related problems with other distros with various other apps that I don't experience with Pulseaudio 0.9.15, so you may want to check that you version is 0.9.15 or higher. (I know there's a PPA for that in Ubuntu)

The beta version of foobar2000 uses Directsound by default, which can cause some problems when playing music. In order to get the program to play music properly, you must set the Hardware Acceleration to emulate Directsound. Go to a terimal and type in "winecfg". A window will open with options for you to modify. Click on the Audio tab, and then look for "Hardware Acceleration". It is currently on "Full". Click on it, and you will have a list of options. Click on "Emulation", and then click on "Apply". foobar2000 should now be able to play music. Note that this will make foobar2000 version 0.8.3 give out an error when you try to play an audio file. Just change it back to "Full" in winecfg when you're done using foobar2000 version 0.9 beta.

Launch winecfg with below command.
padsp winecfg
In audio tab, only select oss driver.
Using below command to launch foobar2000, or just prefix the launch command in the shortcut with padsp
padsp wine foobar2000.exe
P.S. This workaround may crash pulseaudio.
