HAH, i've squashed it. for me anyway.
I simply selected pulseaudio instead of ALSA and disabled driver emulation in
the sound section of winecfg.

i discovered the problem by running:
wine Wow.exe &> WowERR.txt

after the crash, WowERR.txt read:
err:alsa:ALSA_XRUNRecovery underrun recovery failed. prepare failed:
Input/output error
ogram Files/Blizzard/WoW/World of Warcraft/Wow.exe: pcm_pulse.c:198:
pulse_pointer: Assertion `pcm->stream' failed.

hope this works for others experiencing the issue.
ive had the game running for around an hour, with no problems whatsoever.
A note:
i have to use DirectX mode.
if i use opengl mode in the game, the map and all text on the screen disappears
as soon as i enter a building.
