Are you using hardware acceleration for sound? I've gotten the game to work
Yes.
properly if I disable this feature, but it breaks/slows down other programs.
Well, then you can use Wine bottles, you won't need to brak other programs. Use wibom (http://wibom.sourceforge.net/), import your .wine directory and clone it. Then you can configure one bottle to use hardware acceleration for sound (and uninstall The Neverhood from it), and second bottle without hardware acceleration (and uninstall other programs but The Neverhood).
