i have a very similar problem: i'm on gentoo (wine ever compiled on my pc with the latest version of GCC that was avaliable at wine's release time). i tried to run this game in every release since wine 0.9.60 ever without success. so this time i decided to ask for help here. here is the entire console output: http://pastebin.com/m2172c3f1 it is not necessary to pay attention to the firs outputs regarding ALSA. some other games will work in a good way...so i think it is not a configuration problem...
