A status update on foobar2000 Linux compatibility.
There are unofficial Linux repacks of foobar2000 in circulation, combining a random old development build of Wine with a random version of foobar2000.
We have no control over such and strongly recommend against installing them, having received thousands of crash reports sent from them.
Always install foobar2000 downloaded directly from us, in Wine version bundled by your Linux distro.
Or, install latest development build of Wine yourself, if you know what you're doing.
That said, issues with Wine vs foobar2000 compatibility are being addressed in latest builds of both.
