I am experiencing a similar sound problem.  I have many games whos sound does 
work except one that has no sound.  On solution is to switch to a version of 
wine prior to  1.3.25 (I found 1.3.23 the best) and to reinstall the game in a 
clean prefix.  

For me it appears wine 1.3.25 (and above) do something with the settings that 
prevent previous versions of wine from working properly.  

See bugzilla [1] for the bug I reported and mediafire [2] for precompiled wine 
packages that workd under FreeBSD/amd64.
