You normally need to just declare a default one with
WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL

Normally, if the source is nicely partitioned in files,
there is no need to use more than one channel per
file, and hence no need to use WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL.
This is needed only when you want to use in one file more
then the default channel.

Eh???

[dimi at dimi wine]$ grep -n DEBUG dlls/comctl32/animate.c
38:WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL(animate);
[dimi at dimi wine]$ grep -n DEBUG dlls/comctl32/comboex.c
36:WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL(comboex);
