Finally it is not a Wine bug.
On Wine you need a software synthesizer installed and running on Linux to hear
MIDI from a Windows application.
Do you have a software synthesizer already installed?
test:
find a .mid file on your hard drive:
locate .mid
or on the internet.
Then launch:
aplaymidi -p128:0 midi_file.mid
Do you hear the music? Good, Wine should play midi in Windows applications too. 
If you hear nothing, you need to install a software synthesizer.
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install fluid-soundfont-gm fluidsynth 
then launch it as a server, in a terminal:
fluidsynth -a pulseaudio  -m alsa_seq -r 4800 -l
/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2
If you don not use pulseaudio on your Linux distribution, replace "-a
pulseaudio" by "-a alsa"
aplaymidi -p128:0 midi_file.mid --> you should now hear music, so you can now
launch Hardwood Solitaire III and hear music. If you still can not hear music
in HSIII, go to options, more options, sound and music, verify in the music tab
that "Enable" box is checked.

It's not a wine bug BUT
Wine should inform user when it plays midi files that it needs a software
synthetizer.

Instead of Fluidsynth you can also use timidity.
launch it:
$ timidity -iA -Os -x soundfont /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2

$ aconnect -l
client 0: 'System' [type=noyau]
    0 'Timer           '
    1 'Announce        '
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=noyau]
    0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 128: 'TiMidity' [type=utilisateur,pid=813]
    0 'TiMidity port 0 '
    Connecté Depuis: 129:0
    1 'TiMidity port 1 '
    2 'TiMidity port 2 '
    3 'TiMidity port 3 '
client 129: 'WINE midi driver' [type=utilisateur,pid=1121]
    0 'WINE ALSA Output'
    Connexion À: 128:0
    1 'WINE ALSA Input '

With this command you can see Timidity is on port 128:0

Sent in a patch to provide a warning:
https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/137338

This should do the trick, if I didn't miss something.
Anyways, this is no wine issue, so let's close it.
