If we store a list of drivers to autodetect in the registry we can search this list on wine startup for the first working one.  Maybe winecfg can provide an interface to this list?

Its probably not very likely that users will run multiple high level audio systems at the same time but this should let those users work around wine detecting and using the wrong one.  Although as long as we can output sound through a given interface it isn't really the wrong interface...

On the contrary this is very likely.
For instance most KDE users are running:
    aRts
    Alsa
    Alsa's OSS emulation

That's three sound systems that Wine can use (with varying poor degrees 
of success).
