Thanks for reporting.

I think this is actually a side-effect of Bug 49839. The steamwebhelper process
continually crashes, which takes up a lot of server time for one reason or
another. Occasionally the audio thread gets caught up while the server is
handling the crashing processes, and so the audio output gets interrupted.

I'm able to reproduce the problem with plain Wine with Windows Steam. With
wine-staging, the steamwebhelper crashes seem not to happen, which fixes the
game audio for me.

Are you running the game via the Windows Steam client? Are you using
wine-staging, or just plain upstream Wine?
