Bug "A" isn't even reported at Wine Bugzilla, I will report it soon. Bugs "B" and "C" are loosely reported as generic startup crash bugs (see 9001 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9001) and 9121 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9121)). They have mixed reports from both the audio and resolution crashes. They even have reports of an old mid-game crash bug that is now fixed.

I would open a thread for each providing proper terminal output.
