I've successfully gotten Firefox to run on Wine
with Adobe Flash
(presumably so that I can actually see people's websites, and listen to
their music. Sheesh.). This is on a 32-bit system.
But no sound. WineCfg seems to think that the only drivers available are
dmix, but I don't have dmix configured, or running, and I do NOT want dmix
at all!

I use this system for JACK audio, so I don't want crap mixing happening in
ALSA adding latency. I'm fine with shutting down JACK in order to surf on
Windoze, for those times when I actually need it. I do NOT want to have to
run a soundserver like ESD, which is what a lot of the advice on Das
Internets seems to say to do.
So I want Wine/Firefox to just use the direct access to the ALSA card.
My .asoundrc is empty, which is kind of how I like it.
In Googling around, I found advice to add this to my .asoundrc:
pcm.dmix0 { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,0" }
Seems like it'd be a neat way to force Wine to do what I want, without
having to do what it wants. I tried it, though, and nothing.
Ken,
I don't know enough to really speak to this, but I can play wine stuff through
jack.
