Aha, got it. I doubt that I will be able to implement this, so I might just 
file it as a bug report.

I had a look at mplayer code and it is structured in a completely different 
way than winealsa for the mmap case. I'm looking at wodPlayer_WriteMaxFrags, 
btw. This leads me to believe that the way wine does it is off, and it's not 
a driver issue... I'll try to tinker a bit with it and see whether I have any 
success.
