I decided to do a sanity check, so I downloaded a tiny Windows program
PlaySound.exe from
http://www.virtualobjectives.com.au/utilitiesprogs/playsound.htm that plays WAV
files.  I ran it in Wine to play a WAV file, and lo and behold, it ran
perfectly!  I double-checked, but unfortunately the "Test Sound" button in
winecfg still doesn't work.  More importantly to me, the sound doesn't work
either in the Windows program that I'd really like to run in Wine.

But that's useful information, yeah?  The sound works for one program, but not
for another.  By the way, I did some regression testing.  I tried all three
programs (PlaySound.exe, the "Test Sound" button in winecfg, and my Windows
program) in wine-1.4.1 and in wine-1.5.19.  In wine-1.5.19 I tried both the
Pulse and ALSA drivers.  The results were the same for both Wine versions and
with both drivers: PlaySound.exe worked perfectly, the other programs didn't. 
I did notice that the "Test Sound" button often made a tic noise when the
button was pushed repeatedly with the Pulse driver, but not with the ALSA
driver.
