I'm sorry if it is not clear, but the matlab application has no sound.dll nor sound.drv. It is using and it needs the system's sound.dll or .drv. Matlab doesn't care. But wine finds only the .dll. It is wine's wrong assumption that if matlab needs 'SOUND' it must be 'SOUND.DLL'.
Please re-read the bug description, check out the wine source, i think it's understandable what's going on, and why it does not work.
I have already uploaded MATLAB.EXE because it's related to another wine bug: http://www.passwd.hu/~cus/matlab/MATLAB.EXE.bz2
