The reason for using an emulator is that it allows to capture the output digitally. A real sound card with S/PDIF output would also work if I had something that could record from S/PDIF.
This is because wine developer using openal as backend of mmdevapi , but openal does not support record from S/PDIF , it is just software version of ds3d which is used for 3D game
