Yes, that would be correct. However, now winecfg allows to select any rate from
the list. If I select the invalid rate, winealsa.drv opens the device at the
nearest rate and lets wine's implementation of dsound deal with it - i.e.,
resample.

Yes, or by adding this line to .asoundrc:

defaults.pcm.dmix.rate 44100

This may be true, I didn't test recording inside Windows in kvm. Can you
suggest any freeware program that is not part of Windows (so that I can compare
results in Windows and wine), can record sounds and uses DirectSound for that?
