So I did:
- padsp winecfg, and changed driver to oss: hardware acceleration as emulation, 44100, 16 bit, no driver emulation;
- I've installed newer backport of alsa for Karmic Koala;
- I'm now running Spotify with env WINEPREFIX="/home/dpc/.wine" padsp wine "C:\Program Files\Spotify\spotify.exe" and sound is perfect;
Hope that will help somebody.—
Edit:
I have now installed wine1.2 package in Ubuntu and sound works even better without any winecfg tweaks.
