Steampowered.com forums seems to suggest it hasn't been fixed in Windows yet... 

Anyway, I finally got everything working with 

-wavonly 

switch. Because the -nosound seemed to help for the manu crash, I figured this
would help by disabling directsound and playing all sound content as unpacked
wav files.

So what I did so far was: 

- install the game from DVD
- apply skidrow patch & crack #2
- installed vcrun2005sp1, corefonts, vcrun2008 via winetricks
- run the game with portal2.exe -console -wavonly
