The proper way to set the default sound card is to use the same
registry keys as Windows and either use a native mmsys.cpl or
devise a wine specific way of doing the same thing.
Creating a builtin mmsys.cpl is one way of accomplishing this
and another way is to add this capability to winecfg. You could
also have winecfg launch mmsys.cfg (native or builtin).
Any ideas on what would be the best way for wine?
Here are some of the registry keys and a link to some
documentation: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~pboon/md/indexold.htm
