EAC can not access the hardware directly on Windows (nothing can) -
that is the whole point of having a Hardware Abstraction Layer. I'm
pretty sure it is dependent on ASPI which does all the hard work.

Wine is not a virtual machine, but just a layer that maps Windows
system calls to Linux ones. Assuming the calls required by EAC/ASPI
have been mapped then it should work exactly the same on Linux/Wine as
it does on Windows...

...Of course that's all just theory!
