[Bug 43263] New: Wine cannot coexist with other ALSA programs, even with dmix

            Bug ID: 43263
           Summary: Wine cannot coexist with other ALSA programs, even
                    with dmix
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.11
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winealsa.drv
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org

.asoundrc

This machine runs Gentoo and ALSA + dmix (.asoundrc attached). I
have observed this issue with wine installed from Gentoo's repositories,
but also with wine built from git (I have observed this with commit
6ec3cd9434488ba5bc0fd271a47b7d46827477c5 for example, which is the
latest at time of writing). Every native program on this machine
(mpv, mpd, ffplay, firefox, etc) is able to play sound concurrently
with every other such program.

My options under winecfg's audio tab are different depending
on whether an ALSA-using program is currently running:

    [A] (System default)
    [A] Out: default
    [A] Out: HDA NVidia - HDMI 3
    [A] Out: HDA NVidia - HDMI 2
    [A] Out: HDA NVidia - HDMI 0
    [A] Out: HDA NVidia - HDMI 1
    [B] Out: HDA Intel PCH-ALC887-VD Anal...

The entry marked [B] only appears if there is no such program
running.  The entries marked [A] cause the "Test Sound" to be
truncated abruptly, while the entry marked [B] allows the test sound
to fully die down.  Furthermore, if an entry marked [A] is selected,
running a program that produces sound will fail with lines like

    err:dsound:DSOUND_ReopenDevice Initialize failed: 8889000f

in the output. I have attached a log created with wine from commit
6ec3cd9434488ba5bc0fd271a47b7d46827477c5, from a fresh, WINEARCH="win32"
wineprefix, running Warning Forever 1.08, with "(System default)"
selected (mpd is running in the background), and with

   
WINEDEBUG="+tid,+mmdevapi,+winmm,+driver,+midi,+dsound,+dsound3d,+dmusic,+mci,+oss,+alsa,+coreaudio"

The expected behavior is that, since I have dmix configured, wine
should behave like other programs and play sound concurrently with
them.

I've looked around for solutions to this, and people claim that
wine has been able to coexist with other programs in the past
(hence my reporting it as a bug), but every piece of advice I
find seems to be outdated.

I realize I should clarify the original report. Programs can still be run if
ALSA is in use, they just don't produce any sound (and spit out
DSOUND_ReopenDevice errors every now and then).

the issue is that right now winealsa.drv supposedly can't output into anything
but the actual hardware device. I have set up a software alsa device with
equalizer and some filters, set as default, utilizing dmix for simultaneous
multiple outputs, and wine just completely bypasses it all and outputs straight
into the card. Every other program works as expected.
