Good news. 
By changing in winecfg alsa to oss, I was able to get USB and my on-board cards (including Creative X-fi) to work, and to work VERY well. 
No freezing during training. Smooth recognition. And very fast. 
(My new souped-up real-time kernel may have something to do with that.)
I cannot control the volume by the program (I have to use alsamixer). 

OSS Driver
wave out devices / wave in devices / mixer devices all show these three:
  Realtek ALC660-VD
  USB Mixer
  Creative CA0110-IBG
