Oops, I made a mistake with the registry key. The one I mention seems to
be out of use now. It should have been:

[Software\\Wine\\Drivers] 1121776151
"Audio"="oss"

To disable enter change "oss" to ""

If you still have the card around, and can compile wine form source then
it would be nice if you could test the attached patch. It works on a
