Actually, I have the exact same problem, but I found that it happens when I have open the internet browser (flash interferes), and if I have my Rythmbox open too. If I only have steam working, Civ 5 has sound around 1 out of 3 times I open it, but yeah, it's a bit annoying not to have any sounds at all. :(
Lucid Lynx 64, wine 1.3.28 (had the same issue) and now 1.3.34. :)

btw, this also happens with Bethesda games (Oblivion, FO:NV. They have audio in the launcher, but not in-game. All other games I run under Steam function flawlesly. And no, killing pulseaudio is NOT an option (everything works with it, so why would anyone want to kill it?)
