I remember having a similar problem, although my issue was an echo.  After a 
few updates the issue disappeared.

I can suggest three things to try:
 1) Update software
 1.1) Upgrade (or downgrade) wine (I've release version 1.5.20)
 1.2) Upgrade ports (some sound related components may cause issues, although 
*very* unlikely)
 1.3) Upgrade kernel and world (sound fixes may be available to fix your 
issue)
 
 2) Try building your own wine package with ALSA support (requires a i386 
jail/chroot, editing the emulators/wine-devel/Makefile and manually installing 
the ALSA port).  See my other emails regarding the procedure to build a wine-
fbsd64 package.  

 3) File a bug report to bugs.winehq.org.  I've found the sound guy very 
responsive and willing to fix the OSS backend (patches may be provided 
requiring parts of step 2).  

If you do not come right please ping me in the middle of Jan and I'll try 
assist you (I should be able to get a copy of CS 1.6).  

Regards,

David
