Bug ID: 47914
           Summary: winecfg: many ALSA devices are missing from the device
                    list
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.17
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

winecfg lists only a small subset of the ALSA devices on my system, and the one
I need for surround playback is not among them.

This is an ALSA-only system. PulseAudio is not installed.
Ubuntu 19.04, x86_64, wine-4.17 (Staging) from the winehq repo.

Running aplay -L shows dozens of output devices, including these:

default:CARD=Audigy2
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        Default Audio Device
    sysdefault:CARD=Audigy2
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        Default Audio Device
    front:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        Front speakers
    rear:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        Rear speakers
    center_lfe:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        Center and Subwoofer speakers
    side:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        Side speakers
    surround21:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers
    surround40:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
    surround41:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
    surround50:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers
    surround51:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
    surround71:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0
        SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
        7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers

The closest match for any of those that appears in winecfg is:

Out: SB Audigy 5/Rx [SB1550], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback

As you can see, that is not useful, since there are a dozen different devices
with that same description. winecfg gives me no indication of which actual
device it is referring to, and no way to select the one I need.

Could it be that wine is skipping any device that has the same description as
one that it already enumerated?
