Of course. It's important to have low latency on these audio streams I can't
hear since my card is blocked by another application.

Again: If I disable software mixing by pulse, I cannot use a voice application
and watch a video simultaneously.

About the whole latency issue: Who cares? There is a checkbox to choose another
audio backend whenever you want; each winecfg user is capable of using ALSA or
JACK if latency disturbs him.
