The sound problem might be quite a lot of work to fix. 
You can get sound working when you use the following native dll's:

dmime
dmsynth
dmstyle
dmusic

The crash seems to happen inside dmstyle/dmime:

fixme:dmime:IDirectMusicSegment8Impl_IDirectMusicSegment8_GetParam
(0x7fd35148, GUID_IDirectMusicStyle, 0xffffffff, 0, 0, (nil), 0x7a4fa0)
fixme:dmstyle:IDirectMusicChordTrack_IDirectMusicTrack_GetParam
(0x7fd35738, GUID_IDirectMusicStyle, 0, (nil), 0x7a4fa0): stub

When you look at the status of the dmusic related dlls on winehq they could use a lot more work. But Gothic seems to use some more exotic functions...
