https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42147

            Bug ID: 42147
           Summary: Enable application override for all settings
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.0-rc3
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org

      Distribution: ---

I have a wine-prefix with Steam installed and earlier I was able to get sound
from my steam games. With an update allowing Steam to play music, the
application is hogging my audio output, making it impossible to get sound from
other games while Steam is running.

I've tried to override the audio settings for steam.exe, but the audio settings
seems to be global and not overridable. 

It would be nice to let the audio settings be overridable, like almost every
other setting seems to be.

I guess it is worth mentioning that I use ALSA directly, not PulseAudio or the
ALSA dmix-plugin

--- Comment #1 from Detlef Riekenberg <wine.dev(a)web.de> ---
Are you sure, that your pro sound card supports
multi channel mixing in hardware?


You should enable dmix:

Global view of ALSA config file framework
* compensating for various limitations of cards 
  (e.g. use dmix to combat single-stream playback only)
