Additional Comments
tested from a totally clean wineprefix @ winver xp, and I removed the runonce section of .../steamapps/common/brink/installscript.vdf, so the msvc/directx redists would not be installed when launching the game from steam.
Progress

Few notes :
1. Patch from bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20395 (Raw input hack updated for wine 1.3.15), however you can't run it in virtual desktop (which wasn't a problem at all)
2. the audio problem is xaudio related, winetricks xact_jun2010 makes the game instantly crash, all compnations of disabling mmdevapi, setting to win7, xp, setting the game to use openal instead of dsound never worked, and the existence of xaudio2_6.dll in system32 WILL make the game refuse to start.
skidrow installer may be busted

For me, installing the skidrow version reports success (there's a complaint about a directx cab that can be ignored), but the crack isn't installed. Manually downloading and installing the crack works around it.
