Wine 9.7 released with ARM improvements

In this wine version in my case show interesting result with world racing using d8vk



this game have a curious audio formats combination, this put a hard test in wine

because for example engine sounds stay in wav (this format some times dont work), music sounds stay in wma and allow have custom playlist (in this support mp3, ogg and wma)

in my test when try add track to custom playlist sometimes game freeze or when try save changes (in my case after various times save changes)

in around 2 hours of gameplay, running without audio issues using a custom playlist with tracks in mp3, ogg and wma

really impressive this dont be possible in before wine versions
because when trying add tracks and save playlist game suddenly crash or try play some tracks in game for a short time after this game suddenly crash

respect cinematics stay in wmv but now still using mp4 magic dont work, now audio appear but in video dont show nothing and passing cinematics screen remains in black but gui sounds stay

however recent commit in wine seems them stay working on wmv
