I have tested the following and I believe found they were not the problem:

(3) problem with pulseaudio
How did you determine this? I thought you said your version of Ubuntu was crippled if pulseaudio was removed, so did you use pasuspender? If so, did you verify there was no pulseaudio process running while you were testing Wine?
After I started my testing, I did run into problems when I tried to re-install pulseaudio and then remove it, but the PA problem was unrelated. Ubuntu said there was a PA bug, and issued a fix. After I applied the fix, no more problems working with pulseaudio removed. So the whole thing was sort of a red herring.
I have re-installed my entire system since that problem went away, and immediately purged pulseaudio, and that's where I'm working from now. Still same problem.
OK, thanks for that clarification.
So you've tracked the problem down to kernel version 2.6.29? What version of ALSA drivers are in your working and broken kernels?
