Here's what I do. 
Pulseaudio takes a bit of disabling. Make sure that 
/etc/pulse/client.conf 
has autospawn uncommented and set to no
(without the uncomment, it defaults to yes)

apt-get install alsa-oss

Then run winecfg
set audio to OSS only. (You'll really be getting alsa-oss emulation, I think.)

Wine does not control sound volume. That's set by alsa. You have to adjust settings using alsamixer. So you have to be using the default sound card. 

(Note --I use an add-on card, so I have to set the default sound card the only way I know how, which is using asoundconf. But asoundconf is not offered in the latest alsa-utils, so I have to regress to Jaunty's version.)

That should work. 

If it doesn't, check to see that pulseaudio is really disabled. Upon reboot, mine sneaks back in and I have to shut it off using System Monitor. 

HTH -- I'm no expert.
