Rixasha: Well. I checked out the trial of Crossover, and confirmed that the background music works if you just set an override of "native,builtin" on winmm. The music starts with trumpets or such in the very beginning so it's easy to tell, and unlike environmental noise keeps playing even when you open the menu.
But I'm stumped as to why crossover works and wine doesn't. It's probably not about the overrides, since I removed the rest of them and it kept working. It's probably not any of the installed software either, since I replaced the entire drive_c from a wine prefix where the music isn't working, and it still worked in crossover. It could be some registry thing, but for all I can tell, the difference is in crossover itself. It's based on wine 1.7.25, so thinking it might be a regression I tried that version too, but no. Thinking perhaps a PlayOnLinux issue, I tried a wine that I compiled myself, but still no music.
If no one can think of anything soon, I guess I might file a wine bug over it.

Actually Wine 1.7.25 is the exact version I am using as well..
