It may or may not be similar to an issue encountered under windows with this game, where un-muting the stereo mixer volume in the audio control panel for their particular sound device caused battlefront 2 loading times to be significantly reduced. I may be experiencing something similar, as un-muting the control for Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo in Pulseaudio seemed to reduce the loading time. If it happens in Windows, too, it's a bug in the game, not a Wine issue. Complain to the vendor.
