You'll get sound in the first intro video for Ubisoft, but the menu/game are
silent.

Enable hardware acceleration emulation for ALSA in winecfg, and you're good to
go.

Though the FPS do seem to stutter a bit with emulation enabled...

This doesn't seem to affect me; I have sound in game even without that.

This is on vanilla ubuntu 10.10,  lspci | grep -i audio says

The sound back end in Wine changed considerably since this bug was
reported / last updated. Wine has taken the path of "modern" Windows and
there is no hardware acceleration anymore.

Can you please retest and report back?

Bug 32082 blocks this (workaround is to extract files with unrar first), but
then I get libxcb issues. Need to get a newer libxcb before I can test.

Well, works in 1.5.14 (before the xcb mess), and sound hasn't changed much
since then, so I'll assume it's fixed (or else it broke again between 1.5.14
and wine-1.5.16-84-g1d3f679).
