bug report with audio enabled via winecfg

Tropico game just doesn't allow you to play for long times. In a random time of
playing, the game crashes.
I have tried reinstalling, upgrading to the latest patches. I have tried
Paradise Island expansion. I have tried vanilla tropico 1.0. I have tried
upgrading kernel (currently 2.6.25-r7), ati-drivers (now I have the latest one)
and wine. I have tried it with 1.0.0 and 1.1.3 for a good time. I have tried
disabling audio (someone tipped me to do so), to use an iso instead of a cd
(didn't work) and using an original cd.
I have tried it in english and in italian.
It just plays fine till it crashes for no apparent reason.
I noticed that if I save and after short it crashes, it is more likely to crash
in the same time (i.e. when landing a boat).
I attach here two bugreport, one with audio (lasted very little time) and uno
without audio (it worked around 30 minutes).
My distro is Gentoo.

Here you can find useful things like patches and demo.

For me, crash seems to happen when Tropico uses software renderer, when its set
to 16bit color depth.

If I select (3D mode) as Hardware, crash doesn't happen (though its bit too
slowish to be actually usable).  Also, crash doesn't happen, if Software mode
is set for 8bit Color Depth. (from Tropico Settings page).

Haven't had time to really dig into this yet.

If you get crashes, try setting 8 bit color in tropico settings to see if it
helps.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.33 or newer) wine?

I confirm the bug. It happened the same thing to me today, with Karmic and Wine
1.1.35. Apparently, it happens at random, but I observed that it is more likely
to happen if you do a lot of unit/building micromanagement. I will try what is
already posted about changing the renderer.

I confirm the workaround. With hardware renderer, not only the random crash bug
is over, but also some audio choppiness I was experiencing was gone.
