Many games include the redist stuff themselves, so you will still get the
native xaudio2 components without using winetricks. This is why you are able to
work around this by using native xaudio2_7 without using winetricks. The commit
you mention means we always use Wine's xaudio2 even when a native xaudio2 is
available. This is to work around Bug 38668. As you found, you can override
this setting in order to use native to get the old behavior from before b747d6.
If it doesn't crash for you, using native is a fine workaround.

I'm working on a fix for the Skyrim bug mentioned here. I haven't looked at
Orion or FarCry 3, so I don't know if this fix will help them.
