Well, i noticed something very very strange:
After reinstalling and reenabling pulse audio on my system the crackling sound is history ..With pure alsa my sound is crackling e.g in Hard Reset (and any other games) but it works with pulse.
Not sure what could be the root cause for this :( ..Maybe game->wine->alsa->pulse->alsa->soundblaster behaves different than game->wine->alsa->soundblaster
Hope this helps somehow. If you need any other tests, poke me.
Which soundlbaster do your have ?
This may because wine now use a smaller alsa buffer than PA server
if your soundblaster card 0
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
and post the output when running alsa , pulseaudio
