I don't know if you have access to a hardware synth, but here's an idea. I wonder if its possible to install Window Eyes, tell it no speech during installation and specify your HW synth for its runtime configuration? That way if its purely a sound card issue, you would in theory have access to the Windows GUI running within the context of the Wine environment. As far as that game you described, doesn't that require Flash? That's another story, but you might have to install that also, unless Wine includes a version of it.
