--- Comment #1 from fld@r00t3d.com --- Also tried it with 'winetricks sound=alsa', but it results in a very similar page fault exception, just with winealsa/libasound in the backtrace instead.
Then I tried 'winetricks sound=disable', which did make the game start! I was able to play the game with no sound and with surprisingly good performance!
So pulse/alsa receiving invalid buffers for some reason?
