crash output of gothic2 with wine-1.7.34 and music enabled

As is said in comment 21, there are several bugs reported in this bug.
I see in many bugs the remark that we should go with one bug per bug report.
And I concur so let's try to do it here.

I see 3 remaining bugs here:

1) Vdfs32g.exe crash
for follow up, I created Bug 37892, but for Vdfs32e.exe and not Vdfs32g.exe, as
this is the one that is run in my French version of Gothic 2 GOLD. If someone
could confirm it (if her/his version uses Vdfs32e.exe too) or check if my
regression test results in Bug 37892 are also valid for Vdfs32g.exe, otherwise
in my opinion, another bug report should be opened for Vdfs32g.exe crash.

2) For the crash in the comments 23 and 24 : wine: Unimplemented function
SHW32.DLL.265 called at address 0x7bc4e0a0 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: unimplemented function SHW32.DLL.265 called in 32-bit code
(0x7bc4e0a0).

I see that dll in my installation:

  -rwxr-xr-x 1 guest users    7168  2 janv. 10:56 Vdfs32g.exe.orig

So if this is still the case, in my opinion, a new bug report should be opened
and precise steps should be described.

3) And finally the last bug that I see in there, and that corresponds to the
subject, Gothic2 doesn't start. It crashes with default Gothic.ini file.
There are 2 workarounds:
- Disable the music by setting musicEnabled=0 in Gothic.ini
- have music with native dlls following appdb description (I didn't try):

quote

sh winetricks directmusic
WARNING: winetricks sets more DLL overrides than necessary. In my case I had to
remove the override for 'dsound' (winecfg -> Libraries) or the game would crash
at the main menu: "C: failed to initialize sound, MSS reported: Broken waveOut
driver – ’buffer done’ flag never set".

end quote

I think this bug entry shall focus on that issue.
I can confirm it, so may be if someone with the right rights could put it in
'NEW' it would be very kind.

I attach the output of the crash with wine-1.7.34.
And I'm using the French version of Gothic2 Gold (i.e. with the extension Night
of the Raven) in one DVD.
