Poor Wine sound quality on Intel AC'97 (T41 laptop)



I'm trying to figure why the sound from WINE is poor to non-existant on 
this laptop.  I am running Sid and ALSA with the latest kernel 2.6.26
package and KDE.  Sound from KDE and Audacious is working well only
WINE is not working. 

I've tried the 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 Debian packages as well as the 1.1.7 Hardy 
Heron Ubuntu package and all exhibit the same problem with no sound
from Morse Runner and just a scratchy thump from the test button in
the Audio tab in winecfg.

On my desktop I have the Debian 1.0.0 package installed and I get a nice 
clean three tone sound and Morse Runner works well with Wine
(SoundBlast PCI 512 sound board with ALSA).

lspci shows:

And the sound modules:

Ideas?
