There's a known bug in winecfg such that it crashes if either there's  
no audio driver configured or if none of the configured drivers can  
be loaded.

You need to edit the registry to configure the driver.  Under  
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers, set key Audio to  
"coreaudio".  That should enable audio (and keep winecfg from crashing).
