You didn't understand what I was saying and apparently never dealt with windows
version(s) of openal. The library shipped with this game DOES NOT work on every
windows installation. And yes, it does fail with that exact problem - incorrect
OLE initialization. Among all other problems with Creative's ... creation.

The only way on Windows to get any sound out of this game was to install latest
(on the time of the release) OpenAL from Creative or free OpenAL soft.

Wine's OpenAL by default is set to be preferred over native OpenAL. Aside from
the fact that using native dll in such a situation is an invalid configuration.
In this specific case it makes it even more invalid.

Closing, don't waste time chasing bugs in known buggy software.
