I was (finally) able to test a recent version of Wine. This issue is resolved in 1.4-rc1.
Not entirely true. Try running the game multiple times. Eventually the sound crackling returns. I thought it was fixed with all of the ALSA fixes (from bug 28723) but sound can still underrun and cause crackling. It is much better than before though.
