I didn't test pulseaudio nor looked at your .asoundrc , but there are some non-obvious pitfalls when configuring such stuff in .asoundrc . But the fault may also be that the pulseaudio alsa plugin doesn't fully behave like normal alsa does. Wine is pretty sensitive to such things (even to e.g. non-default dmix settings), but most other alsa applications are not.
I made tests with the alsa plugin from jack and wine and mplayer also had problems with that.
And, yes, their alsa plugin should be the recommended way to use wine (and other applications) with pulseaudio or jack. I imagine it would be good for those projects to have their alsa plugin working properly.

I'm just trying it out as it seems to be the recommended way of mixing native alsa apps through pulseaudio. It works fine for all the other alsa apps I tried.
Does mplayer work that way without problems? It's the only other application I know of where I experienced similar problems.
