Hmm... odd.. sound works fine in wine from in my 32bit chroot. I wonder
what's up?

Yeah, I don't see a performance increase on 32bit apps run in the
chroot, probably since it's the same 32bit compile running on the same
processor, so you wouldn't expect to anyway. However, luckily there's
very few programs I actually need to run in 32 bit mode, thanks to the
fact that that majority of stuff is easily recompiled into 64bit.

I've never had good experiences with highmem support under 32bit mode,
anyway. Maybe I'm not doing it "right" or something, but I've always had
flaky behaviour with 2GB or above in 32 bit mode.
