wine users - Jul 2010 - Europa Universalis III Complete Steam crash during startup

System: Dell Studio 15, wine 1.2, Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit (GNOME+compiz), ATI
Mobility Radeon HD 5470

I have all my favorite games up in wine now except Europa Universalis III.  I
have seen lots of posts by people who have made it worked, but even following
all the steps on winehq I get a runtime error during startup while it says
"Loading Sounds"

Here is wine's output for EU3:

Please help!  I don't want to have to get Windows back to play this game!

Fixed the crash by doing something in winetricks that does something I thought I
already did.  I didn't see the difference in the registry, but whatever it
did, I now can play and all I am missing is music now.  And I suppose if I feel
truly desperate for that I can play it in the background :)
