Freelancer had errors like this when run on Windows. A very common cause of
problems was people with a hacked frauenhofer mp3 codec installed (to allow
encoding at higher bitrates for example). Removing it and using the mp3 codec
that came with Windows fixed things*. Funny to see something similar crop up
in Wine.

It _is_ actually .mp3, just with the extension changed to .wav for some reason.
Just in case anyone wants to look at them :)

Further, from
http://www.3dgamers.com/dlselect/games/freelancer/freelancer_demo.txt :
- Missing Game Sounds
If you experience missing game sounds throughout Freelancer Trial Version then
a different audio codec is probably being used rather than the one provided by
Freelancer Trial Version.
- Please follow these steps if some sounds and speech are still missing after
installation:
- Uninstall any 3rd party codec pack or the Nimo Codec pack from your system.
- Uninstall Freelancer Trial Version.
- Go to the following directory, C:\WINDOWS\system32 and delete the file
"l3codecp.acm". If there happens to be another file named "l3codeca.acm",
delete this too.
- If your system is Windows 98 or ME, open the system.ini file located in your
system folder; C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. Delete ONLY the line that starts with
"msacm.l3acm=". In the case of the Nimo codec pack, this will read
"msacm.l3acm=l3codecp.acm"
- If your system is Windows 2000 or XP, open the system registry editor
(regedit) from the RUN command window.
- Locate and delete the following key:
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\msacm.l3acm
- Load the Freelancer Trial Version installation CD and locate the REDIST
folder. Within the REDIST folder, double click on the file named "WMFADist.exe"
and follow on-screen instructions.
- Install Freelancer Trial Version.
