It's probably just the way the application is programmed. I assume it's looking
for some file in the current directory, so if you run it from the wrong
directory, it fails to find that file and as a result audio doesn't work. If
you look at the shortcut on Windows, you'll see it points to .../Bin/Release.
And so does the .desktop file that Wine creates.

I tried to run the demo on my Windows 7 install to see if I could reproduce the
change in behavior there, but it refused to run. Anyways, I'm tempted to close
as INVALID. Would you object to that?
