Sounds like the game is crashing.  This is not a Wine issue at this point.

It definitely will get you help from us, but it may not fix the problem.

How about turning it off.  Wine and compiz cause problems when run 
together.

Pulseaudio causes many problems that it was not designed to fix in the 
first place.  It is sort of like stuffing a sandwich with bread instead 
of meat, cheese and vegetables.  If you could get rid of it, that would 
be much better.  Wine is moving towards the openal interface which is 
supposed to be better at audio support and removes several layers of 
drivers.

Also, using the latest development version of Wine, currently 1.2-rc5, 
is always preferred.  However, if the game does not work with this 
version but does with a prior version, we would love to know.
