They are so very proud of ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound ...) that they neglect to say what it is. This is typical of documentation written by programmers. Grrrr. Ubuntu installs PulseAudio by default. It's known to cause problems in Wine, so the first step is to see if you can reproduce the problem without PulseAudio running. If you can't, it's not a Wine bug. See the sticky at the top of the forum.
