Did this work before 1.2-rc7? If you're on ubuntu, it may be bug 23588
I am on Slackware 13.1 I do not know if it works with previous versions of Wine, it's the first time I install F.E.A.R. on Wine. However, judging by the AppDB entry[1] at least one more person experienced such problem, resolving it by manipulating the sound files of the game (essentially replacing the problematic mp3-s with silent ones). See comment "Sound related crashing" from Monday April 7th 2008, 7:38 made by rwolf. The description lacks traces, but the behavior is pretty much the same, except that he was using cedega.
