Prima facie, the error comes from the system OpenAL library, so the actual issue may not be in Wine. Please attach the full debugger output emitted.
Under full debugging (WINEDEBUG=+all), Steam crashes before any UI elements become visible, so starting the game is not possible.
Would a subset of full logging be useful?
Most of the time, the +all debug channel yields excessive output and enables debug channels that can break applications. Just attach the plain output without any WINEDEBUG channels enabled.
Also, for what it's worth, my copy of Amnesia: The Dark Descent from Steam launches without issue. The package version of libopenal1 on my Ubuntu system is 1:1.11.753-1.
