Ah, I was probably running into that bug, yeah.

So I see this in your logs:
0028:trace:mmdevapi:load_driver Attempting to load L"winealsa,oss.drv"
0028:trace:mmdevapi:load_driver Unable to load L"winealsa,oss.drv": 126
0028:err:mmdevapi:init_driver Failed to load driver: L"alsa,oss"

MMDevAPI doesn't support loading multiple drivers, so it's trying to load
"winealsa,oss.drv" which is obviously not a valid driver. The reason that you
get some sound is because dsound in hwaccel mode _does_ support loading a list
of drivers, and it bypasses mmdevapi entirely. So you get the dsound audio
(game audio), but not the winmm audio (movie audio).

This is a bug. Coincidentally, Alexandre asked me to fix it just earlier today
:) I will have a patch off shortly.

In the meantime, you can try opening up winecfg and selecting a single driver.
Unless you know otherwise, you probably want ALSA. Give that a shot and see if
there are any other bugs.
