We already require recent versions of openal-soft, and openal-soft can
be configured to allow more than 256 sources.

See comments 26 and 27 on bug 39591:

  https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39591#26

(Aside: alsoft-config should allow more than 256 voices, but currently
doesn't, so you have to edit the config file manuall. This is already
fixed in openal-soft git: https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/pull/41 )

Is this an acceptable solution to your problem? Perhaps I should
document it on the wiki.
