[Wine] Soul Reaver 2 v1.01 sound buffer underrun

[Dean Hamstead]

use the alsa driver
and activate the option 'UseDirectHW' with regedit

http://wiki.winehq.com/UsefulRegistryKeys

this fixed similar problems for me in swat 4 and generally
seemed to make alsa sound run better. (although some things
still need oss i.e. halflife 2)
