Workaround for Pulseaudio + ALSA sound crash:
pulseaudio server has to be restarted, with "pulseaudio --kill". Then in the wow, go to the sound settings, and you see there 2 sound devices. If you select the other one (in my case: system, system default), which is not currently selected, the wow sound will reinitalize, and you'll get a working sound back. Not seem to be a wine issue, more like a pulseaudio issue.
