Is your system using pulseaudio as sound-system?
If so, try issuing
Code:
killall pulseaudio
aoss wine program.exe
to force wine in using ALSA or OSS.
If it doesn't work, the next thing I would try would be updating wine to a more recent version. Latest stable is 1.4.1, while latest dev is 1.5.10 as of now, so you're really using an "ancient" version.
