Just in case this can help someone else:
After upgrading to Hardy, I no longer had sound in Wine. I tried a couple of the suggestions I had found on the forums: using padsp to use the OSS sound option in winecfg and selecting ESound since PulseAudio is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for ESound. Neither of these worked.
Something I had noticed when I launched winecfg that I hadn't seen before were errors about the fake windows directory not being acessible. Strange since Wine worked fine before. This led me to believe that something strange had happened to my Wine configuration.
I backed up ~/.wine/drive_c to another location and removed the .wine folder. When I ran winecfg this time, the .wine directory was recreated, no errors were reported and I was able to select either the ALSA or ESound drivers in the Audio configuration and hear the test sound.
So, if you're having problems with sound in Wine after upgrading to Hardy, it might be a stale Wine configuration.
