Better yet, don't use wine at all, as Linux usually has better software than 
anything in Windoze, so I don't see why anybody would take the trouble of 
trying to run wine to emulate them. But we all have different needs, so I 
will try not to judge....

;-) 

Myself, however, I prefer VideoLAN or the MEPIS / mx / antiX repositories. I 
would use deb-multimedia as a last resort. Also you must be sure that you get 
the "genuine" deb-multimedia, not the fake site and repository that somebody 
else is hosting.

When you open the disc image with fuse9660, you ought to see, in your location 
bar at the top, a URL (?) something like this, e.g.: 

iso:/media/devuan/devuan_jessie_1.0.0_i386_NETINST.iso

and then the list of folders, 
El Torito Boot
ISO9660
Joliet level 3

Inside the folders, you will see your files - in your case, wav, ogg, and 
maybe mp3. Some of these are duplicated from one folder to another. Once you 
have opened the disc image like a folder in Konqueror, you are almost there, 
as you should need only copy from one folder to your destination.
