--- Comment #1 from Pekka Paalanen pq@iki.fi 2010-02-27 10:20:53 --- Changing the Wine sound driver from ALSA to OSS seems to work around this specific problem. Sounds play, but there are completely different sound problems (off-topic).
Wine ALSA has dmix:0 as the device, and the hardware sound driver is snd-hda-intel (ICH9) family).
Btw., currently PWI (version 283) has a bug, which crashes the game, when it tries to play certain sound effects and the sound init has failed. It is a regression in PWI and reported here: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=628262
