Had some free time today and so I had tried to look at the issue under
OllyDBG/winedbg. As the game copy I have is a Steam release it's pretty hard to
analyze such executables under debugger. So I tried to fool the dog: downloaded
latest patch for original version of UFO:ET from Chaos Concept official site
and got UFO_ET.exe from there - I had heard that they had removed copy
protection in latest patch for original version so I was hoping it would easier
to debug the crash in case it would behave the same UFO:ET Gold behaved.
Unfortunately it's not the case.

Game launches up and works pretty good when using data files from Steam release
of UFO:ET Gold + UFO_ET.exe from latest official patch, including native
dsound/dmusic workaround working with Wine version prior to 1.3.25. But the
trouble is there's no crash at all when running it with builtin dsound/dmusic.
Game simply starts without sound/music and that's pretty much all the story
:-(. I had sent a mail to the Chaos Concept support in hopes that they would
provide me with DRM-freem UFO_ET.exe from "Gold" version which would crash just
like Steam version does and thus I would finally able to lay my hand over it
under debugger. Let's wait and hope.
