No sound device detected, Fallout 3 cannot run

I installed Fallout GOTY from steam.

I get the error in the title from the launcher, even though sound is actually playing in the background (launcher SFX)

I tried running the fallout exe directly "~/.cxoffice/The Elder Scrolls V_ Skyrim/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 3 goty/Fallout3.exe", and I get the following errors:

Ah, I had downloaded a non-working msasn1.dll, the correct one is linked from the winehq entry for fallout 3.
