Kevin,
I don't think this is correct. Our job is to enumerate
devices available to Wine; the 'default' device is
generally card #0, device #0 on that card. A system
may well have multiple card and multiple devices within
a card; by setting this to 'default', you have prevented
a meaningful scan.
I've actually got a fairly large patch coming which
reorganizes Alsa device discovery to be more correct,
imho. (I iterate through the cards, and iterate through
device on cards; I detect and mark as the wine default
the default card identified by Alsa config; I respect
ALSA card/device environment variables, and, finally,
I allow for explict device name override within Wine).
I'm stymied currently by the fact that my patch correctly
identifies a greater range of devices reported by Alsa,
but then, at least with my laptop's sound card, one
of the devices reported doesn't work for beans. I'm
trying to figure a way to detect that card 0, device 4
doesn't work for beans so I can strip it from the results;
once I finish that (if I can), I'll submit the larger patch.
Cheers,
Jeremy

With ALSA 1.0, the device name "default" should be used.
"default" is mapped to plug:hw by default, but allows remapping from your alsa
config
