Yes, it has improved quite a bit. I've actually managed frequently
clear playback of audio from my VMWare installation.

I've been using WineX for about a year now. There are a number of games
that it won't play or install, but ther are also quite a few that it
plays quite well. However, if your goal is to play a game that uses
DirectPlay multiplayer, don't bother. DirectPlay doesn't work at the
moment.
