I think it would have to be 

cd /home/knoppix/.wine/c:/owner/prog/
ln -s ../audio.wav

Like that you'll get an audio.wav in /home/knoppix/.wine/c:/owner/prog/, 
which is the proj5.exe's location, and as fas as I got you, your program 
looks there for audio.wav?

(Does your program look through the PATH environment variable's paths when 
looking for audio.wav, BTW?)
