Okay, I've found that this is actually a bug in Sound Recorder itself.
It misuses signed 32 bit comparision for deciding if there's enough memory
available for the pending operation.

Thus with > 2GiB memory available, the sum of free memory and
sound-occupied memory eventually gone negative,
setting off the not-enough-memory error dialog.

This also affects Sound Recorder running on Microsoft Windows XP itself.

Reduce system memory to somewhere below 2GiB
(by appending mem=xxxM at Linux kernel boot line)
and disable all swap space to work around this issue.

Resolving Invalid, as it's not a bug in WINE.
Sorry for the delay.
