If this test is to allow the user to determine sound quality (or to
check for errors) I would agree that a short musical sound would work
better than one with just voices. You also will eliminate any need for
multiple sounds based on language.
The default KDE startup sound comes to mind as a possible choice. I
believe that Gnome also has a short test sound that is a guitar being
strummed. Either would work well. Or if you would like, I would be happy
to record something for this purpose.

This is a proof of concept patch that adds a simple audio test to
winecfg.
All it does is use PlaySound to play a wave file. I am using
LoadLibrary("winmm.dll") and FreeLibrary to change drivers.
You must press the apply button for the driver change to take effect.
There is no error recovery for a missing winmm.dll. The wave
file name is in the rc file so a different file can be played for each
language.
This is probably overkill. I'm not sure where to put the wave file
so the program will only work when the wave file is in the current
directory.
The wave file can be found here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~reif/winecfg.en.wav
or you can rename any old wave file to: winecfg.en.wav.
Comments please?
why not use a simple musical wav , a couple of seconds and it's as
good for all languages.
