This looks pretty much like the issue described in Comment #24 p2, which was
concerned here initially. Please note that 'multiply_special' has no effect on
mainstream Wine, it is in Wine Staging only. Are you using Wine Staging to test
this? The memory issue is the same between development and Staging.

That's not how it works. pulseaudio has nothing to do with Wine, or even less
so with game executable command line. It is host daemon which runs an instance
per each user session. You can get some basic idea from 'man pulseaudio' or
searching some information on the Web. It is known to be one of the major VM
space users if run with its typical default parameters. To do what I suggest to
try (along with the latest Wine version), you should do the following before
running the game with Wine:

1. Kill currently running instance. E. g., 'killall pulseaudio'.
2. Start it from the terminal; 'pulseaudio --disable-shm=true.
3. Find the newly created process and make sure it is started: ps <pid>
